While Scrum has had worldwide adoption and success, many teams and organizations have struggled to implement all of its aspects. Their challenges could be related to organizational and role changes, or not being able to meet iteration or release level commitments of scope and time, poor estimation and story leaks and ultimately untested/ poor quality software. If you have faced some or all of these challenges, and are looking for ways to improve your Scrum processes, then you should be looking at Scrumban – the application of Kanban principles to Scrum.

One of the important contributors to the success of several organizations is alignment of IT strategy with Business for achieving Corporate Goals. If Reduced Waste and Smooth Flow (or streamlined processes) throughout the enterprise are part of your corporate strategy, then you should look at Kanban. While Kanban is making waves in IT operations and Software development, it is also proving invaluable for a number of forward-thinking business functions such as HR, sales, marketing, insurance claims and more!
