Which is better Agile or Kanban? Actually, it's not quite that simple. Agile development and Lean, where Kanban comes from, are both related approaches to software development. Agile project management guides us to work in chunks, called Scrum Sprints or Iterations, Kanban also aims to work in smaller steps. So what is agile, what is Kanban? What is a Kanban board and how does it work? Is it Kanban vs Scrum, Agile vs Kanban or something else? What are the similarities and what are the differences? What things should we focus on to do the best job that we can?

In this episode, Dave Farley explores both of these ideas and explains the benefits, and drawbacks of each. If our aim is the Continuous Delivery of valuable software into the hands of our users, what is the best way to organise our work to achieve that?
