Ask HN: Scrum <–-> Kanban

Every 'scrum' I have been involved with used a kanban tracker of some form - are they supposed to be "different"?

Kanban is basically "here's a board with tasks, push them to the next column when you're done"

Scrum is a set of recommendations about team structure, project organization, meetings, etc

Would you say, then, that one is an overall project management method while the other is a way to track progress inside the method?

Kanban is both - it's a name for the board itself, and also a name for a very simplistic project management method that relies on the board and nothing else.

Jira took the board and people started using it while doing Scrum, but you don't have to do Scrum with Jira. BTW the board is kind of new in Jira, it used to be more like Github list of issues before they added it.

Where by "kind of new" you mean, "has existed for over 6 years" ... right?

Jira had the task board / Kanban idea (at the minimum (and, imo, well-implemented) as of early 2018 (first time I saw it))
