Kanban

Kanban manages work as a continuous flow on a board, using work-in-progress (WIP) limits to expose bottlenecks and keep throughput steady. Unlike Scrum, it has no fixed iterations — work is pulled as capacity frees up. It suits teams with unpredictable, continuous demand like support or operations.
