A presentation about an enterprise's experience and experiments with Scrumban. The core message is that the practices and frameworks help but are secondary to the values and principles. We are happy to adopt elements from both scrum and kanban to find what works well for us.
This document introduces Qamine, a static analysis tool that helps programmers find bugs. It does this by analyzing code dependencies when a developer modifies or corrects code, and identifying other places where the same change may be needed. The US spends $60 billion per year fixing bugs, with the average cost of a bug being $6,800. Qamine pulls code from repositories after changes are pushed, applies algorithms to discover dependent code that may need updating, and generates reports of issues for developers. It supports many programming languages, repositories, and large code bases.
Om met vakgenoten ervaringen uit te wisselen op het vlak van ALM en Scrum organiseert Delta-N vier keer per jaar een Scrum Round Table. Dit zijn interactieve sessies die gericht zijn op het delen van praktijkervaringen. Iedere round table heeft een specifiek thema waarover in een interactieve setting gediscussieerd wordt. De sessies worden begeleid door ervaren ALM Consultants / Scrum Masters. De derde Round Table van 2015 had als thema Scrumban.
Scrumban
Scrum en Kanban zijn beide vormen van agile. Waar Scrum het meest geschikt is voor producten en ontwikkelprojecten, is Kanban is het beste voor de productie ondersteuning. Scrumban combineert de sterke punten van beide methoden. In welke situaties of bij welke projecten is Scrumban geschikt en hoe pas je het succesvol toe in de praktijk.
This document discusses Scrumban, a hybrid agile methodology that combines elements of Scrum and Kanban. It begins by noting that while a team was happy using Scrum, they needed changes for supporting projects with unpredictable resources. Kanban was considered but the team liked daily Scrums. Scrumban was proposed as a best of both worlds approach. Key differences between Scrum and Kanban are outlined such as timeboxes, metrics, and roles. The conclusion is that Scrumban makes Scrum principles applicable to support projects while being fully customizable to each team and project. Potential downsides are reduced transparency and tool support.
DevOpsDays Ignite: Ops Scrumban, from chaos to sanityAlexis Lê-Quôc
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.
This document introduces Scrumban, which is a combination of Scrum and Kanban principles for software development. It describes some of the weaknesses of Scrum for large enterprises, and how Kanban addresses those weaknesses by focusing on continuous flow, limiting work-in-progress, and making processes more flexible. Scrumban blends elements of Scrum like cross-functional teams with Lean/Kanban elements like cadences instead of sprints and visualizing work to improve flow. The document argues that Scrumban can help organizations focus on continuous delivery while maintaining quality.
#Scrum is very popular these days but #kanban is suitable for better organizational level continuous improvement. We use #scrumban to get the benefits of both the worlds. Its a combination of good practices of scrum with kanban.
This document discusses Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban approaches to agile software development. It outlines some common issues with Scrum like changing sprint scope and large team communication. Kanban uses continuous development without sprints and a visualized workflow. Scrumban aims to take the best of Scrum and Kanban by using continuous development within defined sprints and a visualized workflow to reduce idle time and avoid overloading team members. The document recommends starting Scrumban by stopping assigning all stories upfront and continuing with sprints and retrospectives.
Scrumban takes elements of Scrum and Kanban to manage product development workflows. Kanban uses visual boards and work-in-progress limits to maximize flow and control workflow bottlenecks. It was inspired by the Toyota Production System and aims to continuously improve processes. This presentation discusses using Kanban to manage activities outside of Scrum's core development cycles, like backlog management and testing. Kanban complements Scrum by providing visibility and control over the entire value stream. The speaker recommends Scrumban for long development cycles, heavy R&D, and support/helpdesk teams.

Introduction to Recipes for Agile Governance in the Enterprise (RAGE)Cprime
Large enterprises that develop software cannot function without structure, but often develop structures that cripple productivity and impair responsiveness to customer needs. This Webinar introduces an approach to building effective structures by introducing the concept of Agile governance.
Agile governance provides formalized practices for decision making (governance) which incorporate the principles of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Engineering. The result is a set of simple recipes for selecting, planning, organizing, and tracking work at all levels in the organization (the Portfolio, Program, and Project levels), which apply within or across Business Units. We also provide guidance on how to develop new recipes, when needed.
This webinar introduces the basic concepts of Agile governance. We will look at some existing concepts (such as Scrum of Scrums and SAFe), and lay the foundations for subsequent webinars that address specific scenarios of common interest.
Scrum is an iterative agile software development method using sprints of 2-4 weeks to deliver working software. Kanban uses a pull-based scheduling system to determine production priorities and avoid overloading developers. Scrumban combines Scrum and Kanban by using Scrum's roles and meetings to maintain agility while adopting Kanban's continuous process improvement. It is suited for maintenance projects, help desk work, and projects with unpredictable requirements changes.
This document discusses using ScrumBan, a combination of Kanban and Scrum practices, in a typical maintenance project. ScrumBan provides visibility into priorities, bottlenecks, and the sequence of work. It also allows people to focus on their work while increasing understanding of the project. The document provides a general overview and recommends a resource on making the most of both Kanban and Scrum methods.
This document summarizes John Peltier's experience transitioning from Scrum to Scrumban for product development. Some key points:
- Retrospectives revealed their team was taking on too many stories at once and planning was draining.
- They adopted elements of Kanban like just-in-time planning and work-in-progress limits, while keeping Scrum elements like iterations, standups, and retrospectives.
- This "Scrumban" approach resulted in a 20% increase in productivity and improved morale. It released more control to developers and relieved pressure on product managers serving as product owners.
Scrumban - applying agile and lean practices for daily uncertainty by Vidas V...Vidas Vasiliauskas
In this presentation I have talked about scrumban - a mix of routines and techniques for daily use in dynamic environment. Like in startups, product manufacture, support or similar cases.
This document provides an overview of agile fundamentals and practices. It discusses concepts like linear vs agile development structures, Scrum frameworks, minimum viable products, sprints, prioritization techniques, team roles and skills, benefits and pitfalls of agile approaches, and continuous improvement. Key aspects covered include iterative planning and releases, minimal documentation, self-organizing teams, frequent inspection and adaptation, customer collaboration, and responding to change.
Kanban/Scrumban - taking scrum outside its comfort zoneYuval Yeret
This document discusses Scrumban, which takes elements of Scrum and Kanban to address some of Scrum's limitations. Scrum works best for event-driven work like support/helpdesk activities, but Kanban can help manage upstream and downstream work from development sprints. Kanban uses pull-based workflow and limits work-in-progress to improve flow. It can be used to extend visibility and control outside of sprints. Scrumban combines the best of Scrum and Kanban for whole value stream management.
The document discusses common reasons why Agile transformations struggle or fail, referring to them as "watermelons". It identifies 10 potential watermelons: lack of sponsorship, lack of empathy, over-collaboration, toxic positivity, over-support, treating all changes as experiments, front-loading changes without sustainability, disregarding existing strengths, declaring premature success, and experts focusing on appearances over results. The document provides examples of each watermelon and asks for audience ideas to address them. It concludes by discussing an approach to identify "hidden watermelons" through leading indicators, finding root causes, and experimenting to reinvigorate a stalling transformation.
Accessibility, Inclusivity, Internationalization and Environmental Sustainability. Do these aspects get due consideration when we are defining and refining our backlog items? The presentation explains the growing importance of these aspects in software products - to reflect both the demographics we serve, as well as an increased awareness of our social responsibility.
The document discusses considerations for forming effective teams, comparing different options on factors like size, cross-functionality, geographical distribution, management style, titles, and composition. Small, co-located, cross-functional teams that are self-organized without titles and take a feature team approach tend to allow for better communication, collaboration, agile ceremonies, quality and feedback, but can be tougher to create and sustain with challenges around capacity utilization and redundancy. In contrast, larger, distributed, specialized teams that have directed management and use component team structures are easier to establish and maintain capacity for, but involve greater overheads, silos and delays.

This document discusses Kanban, an agile project management method. It mentions that Kanban focuses on limiting work-in-progress to avoid bottlenecks and encourage continuous flow. The document also provides a visual example of a Kanban board with columns for backlog, development, testing, and deployment stages of a project.
The document discusses some negative consequences that can arise from lack of transparency or "darkness", including bad decisions, poor management, loss of control, team dysfunctions, and hidden risks. It implies that greater transparency or "light" can help address these issues and allow for better understanding and accountability.
Sutap Choudhury and Vinaya Muralidharan presented at India Agile Week-2014 in Pune on an enterprise's journey towards agility. They discussed where the journey started with the transition from waterfall to agile processes for many projects. They explained stops along the way, using a kanban board as the vehicle and overcoming roadblocks. The presentation concluded by noting the journey towards sustainable pace continues.
This document discusses an enterprise's journey towards more agile testing practices. It outlines some of the challenges that led the organization to change, including delays in development cascading to testing, large amounts of manual testing slowing delivery, and late defect discovery impacting timelines and quality. The journey involved adopting practices like test-driven development, test automation, and integrating testing scopes from cross-functional teams earlier in iterations. It also discusses challenges of setting up an agile test organization, implementing test automation at scale, determining how and when to do integration and non-functional testing. The approach involved training, coaching, conferences, evolving practices using kanban principles, and starting with current capabilities while experimenting safely.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/

Hi Good Afternoon everyone
I am Vinaya and this is Sutap – we are both agile coaches from a large enterprise.
And we are here to share our own flavor of ScrumBan which we have started implementing in Delivery unit recently
A bit about the journey towards being more agile
Taking you back a few years to 2007, we implemented CCPM based on TOC – which helped us understand the need for maintaining a low WIP – less multitasking, to move away from fixed schedule plans, create more focus on critical items.
Then in 2012 our Delivery unit was undergoing some transformation – as a part of this we did something called IDDP – Integration Driven Development Practices – which helped us focus on identifying integration issues early on - by at least viewing complex flows integratively and working on them integratively in iTeams, doing some early integration tests etc.
And the stage was set for us to look at more industry wide accepted practices like Kanban and Scrum.
And in 2013 we chose Kanban.
Why did we choose Kanban?
Primarily for its change management approach.
We have a lot of veterans who are good at what they do, who have been delivering in the past.
So we wanted to not bring in a big bang overnight change – we wanted something evolutionary.
And Kanban allowed us to retain roles, titles, processes and to gradually change and grow into something that worked for us.
It allowed each acct to figure out what change and how much they wanted to pull. It allowed people to learn and grow.
So what is Kanban? We understand that many people in the audience are probably more familiar with Scrum than with Kanban.
So - Kanban very briefly
It’s a tool to visualize your work better,
limit the WIP explicitly in order to implement a pull system and
manage the flow better – focus on issue resolution, cycle time etc.
And how was our journey ?
Well, we started to visualize our work better
It took us away from detailed long term plans towards smaller plans and more frequent planning
It helped us clearly see and focus on resolving bottlenecks
It resulted in better flow – better work completion
It helped us have a shared understanding of policies
So why not simply continue with Kanban – why did we start looking at Scrum?
While the evolutionary, do-it-at-your-pace was good for us, we are talking about enterprise scale.
We were seeing too many variations in Kanban impl, and these implementations were not improving / evolving beyond a point, stagnating at different levels
At an Enterprise scale – we started feeling the need for some alignment
When People moved from project to project – they were getting confused by variations, not able to share best practices and knowledge, every acct is unique
So we were looking for a framework and the discipline / predictability /prescription that a framework brings with it
__________________________________________________________
Also we didn’t experience the predictability of cycle time – we expected the variations to settle down with time but it didn’t happen
Also since there is no timeboxing in Kanban, People were having to think in terms of very long durations
– and this meant we still had peaks and valleys and work piling up towards the end
So in addition to the framework of Scrum, the time boxes were making sense in our context – for predictability and discipline
__________________________________________________________
Next - The emphasis on self – org, self management in Scrum was attractive
We were anyway experimenting with it in different ways – through Dev Team Units, iteams etc. So decided to learn from the industry
We also needed a team-centric solution to help combat integration and collaboration issues.
For many years now our GL/PM layer has been the bottleneck – the layer is knowledgeable and also the day-to day decision making layer. So decentralizing decision making, self-organizing teams would go a long way in helping us overcome one of our top constraints
So the team focus of Scrum was one more idea we planned to borrow
__________________________________________________________
And with Kanban, we were now ready to take the plunge into something more structured like scrum
Like we saw on the previous slide, we liked the timeboxing and team-focus in Scrum
We also liked the PO role – Why?
Our implementation focus was always on the construct phase with a lot of problems upstream – in how we gathered and viewed requirements. With the PO role this got special dedicated focus and business value came to the forefront. Also moved the complexity of this phase away from the construct teams.
__________________________________________________________
We were already enjoying the benefits of visualization from Kanban and we wanted to continue doing that
While the timeboxing in Scrum helped us implicitly control WIP – we wanted to see a flow of stories within each iteration – which meant keeping an eye on WIP within each iteration, managing the flow by focusing on completion and issue resolution. So we continued to use WIP limits and continued to give importance to the flow of stories within an iteration.
__________________________________________________________
Mapping the workflow before and after construct period is not mandated in scrum – scrum is silent about it.
But this was something we were already doing in Kanban – a Kanban board to some extent represents the workflow and building this workflow together (including for before and after construct periods) was always a very valuable exercise – so we kept that.
__________________________________________________________
Capturing the explicit policies for each station in the workflow – or each stage is a part of Kanban and we continued to use the policies to have a shared understanding of when work is ready to be pulled to the next stage
__________________________________________________________
So to summarize – from Scrum we primarily adopted timeboxing, the self-organizing team concept, PO role
And we retained from Kanban – the visualization, the focus on low WIP, flow of work, workflow mapping and explicit policies
__________________________________________________________
SO what does Scrumban look like in our projects ?
We are starting to see some discipline around the iterations
We are not there yet for sure but we are getting to a stage where most of the work starts and ends within the iteration boundaries
Self organizing teams – we have a long way to go there but we are already seeing a much more participatory style of leadership than we did earlier. People are being consulted and then decisions being taken. Some teams have moved on to a stage where people are presenting decisions and trying to get consensus around it.
Product ownership focus – Product owners are understanding the role better – they are trying to talk more business than technical, they are coming better prepared for plannings and are getting a demo for every story. But our PO-to-business chain is a long one and that means that the TAT is not great and also the PO is not really as close to business as we would like him/her to be. Also our Pos are former technical experts so they are still experts in that domain rather than in cross functional
Visualization – we are continuing to use Kanban boards and the visualization is good
There are some types of work we continue to struggle to visualize in kanban and that is a challenge we are yet to overcome
Flow – one of the problems we hear of with many scrum implementations is that it is a mini waterfall within the iteration.
Now many places we do not see this – we actually see a continuous flow of stories within the iterations and story demos happening throughout
But in other places we actually see people degrading to the mini waterfall behavior – which takes us one step back from where we were
So we are investing a lot on coaching the teams to not lose this practice of continuous flow.
Workflow mapping continues to be good – especially for how the work will flow into the iteration
The UAT and Deploy phases are often managed by onsite teams and they are not yet completely onboard for mapping out the workflow in Kanban
Capturing explicit policies continues – this is complemented by the “definition of done” discussions – they are practically the same
We would like teams to review the policies more frequently and also do some internal checks to ensure they stick to the policies better
So I guess the core message of our talk is really that the practices, the framework etc help but they are secondary to the principles.
So we don’t want to be dogmatic about the practices but we do want to stay focused on the principles.
We are beginning to see benefits and challenges and are learning and tweaking our approach along the way.
