Scrumban: Effectively Combining Scrum and Kanban

Description:

Teams using Scrum sometimes struggle with operational or emergent work blowing up their sprint plans.

As DevOps delivery is increasingly used by organizations, the need for Scrum teams to accommodate operational work also increases. After all, it does not matter how interesting that new feature is if production is down.

By combining the disciplines of Scrum and Kanban, teams can find that happy balance of planned work and emergent work, while still maintaining discipline and continuous improvement.
