Check out 277.\xa0 SPaMCAST 277 features our essay on Scrumban. Scrumban is the combination of Kanban (lean) and Scrum (Agile) techniques. Each contributes different things to the hybrid framework. Kanban contributes a focus on flow, while Scrum contributes a focus on people and timeframe. Together, both focuses bring value to process improvement. The understanding of how these two sets of techniques and philosophies can be combined provides change agents with another powerful arrow in their quiver of available options. \nAlso in SPaMCAST 277 Steve Tendon discusses the limitations of Scrum.\xa0 Many people believe Scrum is a silver bullet for every situation.\xa0 Steve will attempt to dissuade you of that opinion! \nRemember to register for the "Influential Agile Leader" events led by Johanna Rothman and Gil Broza.\xa0 Check out the full details at \n\xa0\nGet in with us anytime or leave a comment here on the blog.\xa0 Help support the SPaMCAST by reviewing and rating it on .
