Frequently asked questions
Scrum is a structured framework focusing on iterative development with defined roles and ceremonies. Kanban emphasizes visualizing workflows, limiting work in progress, and continuous improvement.
The primary roles in Scrum are the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team, each with distinct responsibilities to ensure smooth and efficient delivery.
A best practice is to conduct regular Scrum of Scrums meetings to address inter-team dependencies, improve communication, and resolve cross-team challenges.
