The main difference between a Kanban board and a Scrum board is how they manage workflow:
Kanban Board: Focuses on continuous work with no set time frames. Tasks are moved across columns (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done) as they progress, and there's no need for sprints.
Scrum Board: Used in sprints (time-boxed iterations, typically 2-4 weeks). Tasks are moved through stages during each sprint, with a focus on completing a defined set of tasks within that period.
Kanban emphasizes continuous delivery, while Scrum focuses on completing work in structured cycles.
A Kanban board focuses on continuous workflow, allowing tasks to move through stages without fixed time constraints. It’s ideal for ongoing projects with flexible priorities.
A Scrum board, on the other hand, is used in Scrum methodology to track tasks within fixed-length sprints. It’s structured for teams to complete a set of tasks in a specific timeframe, with progress measured during that sprint.
