Description

A good Scrum team automatically enjoys the provisions of kanban when practicing one-piece continuous flow. It is a built-in way to limit work in progress while encouraging teamwork. It gives team members time-boxed autonomy to carry out their plans while enabling them to better meet their planned forecast. Such maturity may be a foundation for later addition of techniques like kanban, but both the inventor of kanban and our experience suggest that it is likely to founder without a framework like Scrum that first establishes the discipline of flow.
