Kanban

Kanban is workflow management that respects how software development actually works. Visualise work, limit work in progress, measure cycle time. No sprints, no estimation ceremonies, no velocity tracking.

WIP limits are the key discipline. Without them, Kanban degenerates into an infinite todo list. With them, it surfaces bottlenecks naturally and keeps the team focused on finishing work rather than starting new work. For teams of 2-8 engineers, Kanban with WIP limits beats Scrum on every dimension.
