Kanban Fundamentals: Boosting Developer Productivity


Visual signals and controls in most Scrum teams are really poor. Therefore, adopting Kanban really makes a difference.
Let’s take, for example, User Stories as a work item type.




As you know, Scrum doesn’t prescribe User Stories, just Product Backlog Items (PBIs). On top of that, many teams doing Scrum are not product teams, so why would they be using a work item type called User Story?
Those teams have to analyze their demand, clearly differentiate different work item types, and define specific visualization policies for them, such as sticker color and design.

Look at how Scrum teams can benefit from Kanban visualization techniques.
