Agile / Scrum / Kanban

Scrum

• Sprint — a fixed iteration (1–4 weeks) with a clear goal
• Product Backlog — a prioritised list of tasks
• Daily Standup — 15-minute sync: what I did, what I'm doing, what's blocking me
• Sprint Review — demo of results to the stakeholder
• Retrospective — discuss the process: what to improve

Kanban

No fixed sprints — a continuous flow. A board with columns (To Do → In Progress → Done). WIP limits (Work In Progress) — a maximum of N tasks simultaneously "in progress". More flexible than Scrum.

Agile ≠ no plan

Agile is about adapting to change, not about chaos. Planning happens, but the horizon is shorter and the plan is easier to change.
