#201 Scrum vs Kanban – When to Use Each (and Four Ways to Combine Them)

Agile expert Richard Lawrence breaks down the differences between Scrum and Kanban, two of the most widely used approaches for managing work. He explains how each method works, where each one excels, and how you can decide which is best for your team or project.

You’ll learn the core distinction between Scrum’s time boxes and Kanban’s work-in-progress (WIP) limits, when to use Scrum, when to use Kanban, and why the answer is sometimes “both.”

Richard shares practical ways to combine elements of Scrum and Kanban to solve real-world problems, along with the most common pitfalls teams encounter when switching between these approaches—and how to avoid them.

Whether you’re new to agile methods or looking to refine your team’s process, this episode will give you a clear, practical framework for making better decisions about how you work.
