Key Differences
- Structure: Scrum is time-boxed into sprints; Kanban has a continuous flow.
- Roles: Scrum includes defined roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner); Kanban does not prescribe roles.
- Planning: Scrum requires sprint planning; Kanban is more flexible and evolves continuously.
- Board: Both use boards, but Scrum resets them each sprint, while Kanban is ongoing.
When to Use Which?
Scrum fits teams with fixed-length work cycles and strong planning needs. Kanban is ideal for continuous delivery environments with frequent changes and less overhead.
