Scrum and Kanban were implemented side by side in several maintenance projects. The reason for this presentation is the fact that Scrum is widely used for IT development, however maintenance projects struggle with Scrum due to unpredictable nature of workload and drop Agile practices altogether. However Kanban can be used along side Scrum to cover for the unpredictable nature of demand as well as expose bottlenecks in current processes. Presentation will also show how these process tools were implemented from an everyday work perspective using standard possibilities of Atlassian Jira.
