Ops Scrumban provides a hybrid approach between Scrum and Kanban methodologies to bring order from chaos in operations teams. It uses 2-week iterations to size stories and pull work through queues. Teams measure key metrics and use visual cues like red cards to signal when help is needed addressing issues like stalled work or a lack of context. The approach aims to establish more discipline than a DIY Kanban system while providing a continuous flow of work unlike a traditional Waterfall model.
