Does anyone use both Scrum and Kanban for 1 project?

[Tamarin Sacks]

Hi there

Does anyone use a scrum board for planning - with similiar columns to :

• To-do
• In progress
• Development done
• Development tested (definition of done)

And then uses a Kanban board - with similiar columns to:

• UAT
• Ready for Beta
• In production

We have our two board linked but when we try to close our sprint we get the following error: ' this issue cannot be edited because of its workflow status.'

Hi @Tamarin Sacks,

In our projects we often use Scrum board for ongoing iteration and Kanban board to manage an Epics and a high level roadmap.

So that, Epics, Stories, Tasks and Bugs belongs to the same Project, but as long as their lifetime differs and they share same workflow schema - it doesn't lead to the conflicts.

There're few cases that looks like similar to yours:

Hope this helps.
