Chapter 2, Problem 8E

Program Plan Intro

Scrum:

• Scrum is a model which is mainly used for completing projects with a complex and innovative scope of work.
• The basic scrum framework includes the following.
  • A product owner who creates a prioritized wish list known as a product backlog.
  • The team pulls a small chunk from the top of the wish list which is the sprint backlog and decides how to implement these pieces during sprint planning.
  • The team has a certain amount of time to complete its work which is known as the sprint.
  • Time for completing the project may take about two to three weeks.
  • The scrum master makes the team to focus on its goal.
  • The sprint ends with a sprint review and retrospective.

Kanban:

• Kanban is a visual system for managing work as it moves through a process.
• Kanban visualizes both the process or workflow and the actual work passing through that process.
• The main goal of Kanban is to identify the bottlenecks in the process and fix them so that work can flow at an optimal speed or throughput.
