Flavors of agile

There are various flavors of agile, including the following:

• Scrum: This prioritizes the highest-value features and incremental delivery once every 2-4 weeks
• Kanban: This pinpoints bottlenecks to avoid holdups
• Lean: This eliminates waste and unnecessary documentation and provides future flexibility
• XP: This reconfigures and ensures the simplest design to deliver iteration features

Let’s look at the features of each one of the preceding points.

Scrum

• Reacts quickly in volatile markets
• Focuses on customer benefits and avoids both unnecessary outlays and time investments
• Utilizes organized development teams within a structured framework in order to coordinate activities and work together for quick decision-making
• Involves customers directly in the development process

Kanban

• Works with existing roles and processes and may be introduced either step by step or by establishing pioneer teams.
• Scrum and Kanban complement one another. While Scrum ensures adaptability and agility Kanban improves efficiency and throughput. Both techniques increase overall transparency.
