Kanban is an agile method and (like scrum) an agile way of working. It is a method that is gaining popularity but is not used as often as scrum. Kanban is the opposite of a rigid approach. You can adjust the planning at any time. This method is mainly about continuously delivering (new) features. In contrast to scrum, kanban has no fixed delivery moments.

I can't sit still. If I encounter bottlenecks and areas for improvement, I look for solutions. For example, I have noticed that innovation and budgeting can get in the way of each other in software development. I also see that the lack of progressive insight can destroy the success of innovative projects. Gradually the idea arose to work with a development budget. An approach that should provide clarity, insight and flexibility.

Agile development is an approach to software development that focuses on delivering value to customers through step-by-step and flexible development. Rather than a linear, specification-based approach, Agile encourages flexibility, rapid adaptation, change, and continuous feedback. Agile development means working in small steps with a dynamic approach.

Agile and scrum are often mentioned in the same breath. People use the terms interchangeably and sometimes mean the same thing. But what is the difference between agile and scrum and what exactly is scrum? In summary, scrum is an agile way of working and is one of the 40 most used agile methods in software development. Agile is therefore an umbrella concept and scrum just a method.
