Iterações fixas (sprints) Fixed iterations (sprints) Opcional
Limites de WIP WIP limits

Feature-by-feature comparison

Kanban optimizes flow; Scrum optimizes predictable delivery. Compare each practice with screenshots and sourced references.

Kanban 5 Scrum 2 It's a tie 3

Fixed iterations (sprints)

It's a tie

Kanban has no required sprint cadence. Work flows continuously through columns as capacity allows.

Scrum organizes work into time-boxed Sprints, typically 1–4 weeks, with a committed Sprint Goal.

It's a tie

Neither is universally better — Kanban suits continuous flow; Scrum suits time-boxed, predictable delivery.


WIP limits

Winner: Kanban

Kanban uses Work-In-Progress limits per column to prevent overload and surface bottlenecks.

Scrum limits work indirectly through Sprint capacity planning rather than per-column WIP caps.

Winner: Kanban

Explicit per-column WIP limits are a core Kanban practice for preventing overload and surfacing bottlenecks.


Defined roles

It's a tie

Kanban has no mandated roles. The team owns the board and pull-based workflow.

Scrum defines Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers with distinct accountabilities.

It's a tie

Kanban needs no fixed roles; Scrum's defined accountabilities help larger teams that want clear structure.


Backlog grooming ceremonies

It's a tie

Kanban refines work just-in-time as items approach the top of the backlog column.

Scrum holds regular backlog refinement sessions to prepare items for upcoming Sprints.

It's a tie

Kanban refines just-in-time; Scrum schedules backlog refinement ceremonies — both work, different rhythms.


Continuous delivery

Winner: Kanban

Kanban teams release whenever an item is done — no waiting for a sprint boundary.

Scrum typically delivers at the end of each Sprint during the Sprint Review.

Winner: Kanban

Kanban teams ship whenever an item is done; Scrum typically batches delivery at the Sprint Review.


Flow metrics

Winner: Kanban

Kanban tracks cycle time, throughput, and lead time to optimize flow efficiency.

Scrum primarily measures velocity — story points completed per Sprint.

Velocity per Sprint.

Winner: Kanban

Cycle time, throughput, and lead time give Kanban teams direct flow-efficiency signals.


Velocity tracking

Winner: Scrum

Kanban does not use velocity. Flow metrics replace point-based tracking.

Scrum teams track velocity to forecast Sprint capacity and release planning.

Winner: Scrum

Story-point velocity is Scrum's primary forecasting tool — Kanban deliberately avoids velocity tracking.


Board customization

Winner: Kanban

Kanban boards are fully customizable — add columns, swim lanes, and WIP limits per team.

Scrum boards follow a standard To Do → In Progress → Done pattern tied to Sprint scope.

Winner: Kanban

Kanban boards are fully customizable — columns, swim lanes, and WIP limits per team.


Support and ops teams

Winner: Kanban

Kanban excels for interrupt-driven work — support tickets, incidents, and ops queues flow continuously.

Scrum's sprint commitment model fits poorly when urgent items arrive mid-Sprint.

Winner: Kanban

Interrupt-driven support and ops queues flow continuously on Kanban; Scrum's sprint commitment fights mid-sprint urgency.


Product feature development

Winner: Scrum

Kanban works for feature dev when continuous flow is preferred over batch planning.

Scrum is widely adopted for product teams building features in predictable increments.

Winner: Scrum

Scrum is widely adopted for product teams building features in predictable sprint increments.

"Always have 101 things to do and this helps me organize and prioritize like no other app can. It syncs to my phone and laptop, and when I add dates to tasks, they automatically integrate into my Google Calendar, which is immensely convenient. I can look at my daily, weekly, and monthly overview in Google Calendar and clearly see how much I was able to accomplish! Great tool indeed. Excited to see how it will evolve over time."

"Seriously, makes my tasks easier to share with the team, and the free version is quite nice for our little office. Eventually, we will expand, and this is definitely a great tool to do that! Syncs with my Workspace and Calendar."

"I love the simple, intuitive interface and the Add to Tasks feature, especially as I work through my emails! Sharing my tasks is also easy. Overall, outstanding and simple to use, and that means a lot with too many complex tasks out there!"

"Great too for managing daily routine and plan tasks. Would be perfect if it was updated for generating reports for statistics. For google tasks and google calendar"

Perguntas frequentes

Qual é a principal diferença entre Kanban e Scrum?

O Scrum usa sprints de duração fixa com papéis e cerimônias definidos. O Kanban usa um modelo de fluxo contínuo sem sprints obrigatórios. O Scrum é mais estruturado; o Kanban é mais flexível.

Uma equipe pode usar Kanban e Scrum juntos?

Sim. "Scrumban" é uma abordagem híbrida onde as equipes usam cerimônias Scrum, mas gerenciam o fluxo de trabalho com um quadro Kanban e limites de WIP. É comum em equipes que desejam previsibilidade de sprint junto com visibilidade de fluxo.

Kanban ou Scrum é melhor para equipes pequenas?

O Kanban é geralmente mais simples para equipes pequenas porque não possui papéis ou cerimônias obrigatórias. Uma equipe de duas a cinco pessoas pode iniciar um quadro Kanban imediatamente sem treinamento. A sobrecarga do Scrum é mais difícil de justificar para menos de cinco pessoas.

O Kanban tem pontos de história?

O Kanban não exige pontos de história. Em vez disso, ele usa métricas de fluxo: tempo de ciclo (quanto tempo uma tarefa leva para ser concluída), throughput (quantas tarefas são concluídas por semana) e lead time. Essas métricas são frequentemente mais acionáveis do que a velocidade.

Posso executar Kanban no TasksBoard?

Sim. O TasksBoard oferece um quadro Kanban em tela cheia integrado ao Google Tasks. Você pode criar colunas para qualquer fluxo de trabalho (A Fazer, Em Progresso, Concluído ou etapas personalizadas), arrastar tarefas entre elas e adicionar datas de entrega que sincronizam com o Google Calendar.

Quais papéis o Kanban exige?

O Kanban não tem papéis obrigatórios. Ao contrário do Scrum, não há Scrum Master ou Product Owner exigidos pelo método. As equipes geralmente designam um gerente de fluxo ou gerente de entrega de serviço, mas esses papéis são opcionais e informais.

O Scrum é apenas para equipes de software?

O Scrum foi originalmente projetado para desenvolvimento de software, mas equipes de marketing, RH e operações adaptaram-no com sucesso. O Kanban adapta-se ainda mais facilmente a fluxos de trabalho que não são de software porque impõe menos restrições.
