create a new project, i see nearly 3 options for software projects

Question

Hello Team,

when I click on create new project button I see 3 options Scrum, Kanban and Basic software development. Is there any specific link where I can see exact differences for all these 3 types of project management selection?  this would help me to define a pointer as to what decision process should be used for new managers to decide based on existing implementation thought process.

Hi Dayananda,

You can read this KB article to see the differences between the boards and these 3 project options.

Here's a short description that Atlassian provide:

* Scrum: We generally recommend this project type for teams working with an iteration-based approach to development. Scrum projects use boards to help your team release new versions on a regular schedule.
* Kanban: Kanban projects, which also use boards, are better suited for a continuous flow of work (e.g. service-oriented teams), where the constraint-based approach helps prevent your team from being overloaded.
