Devops

Back in the day, we just called it configuration management. Or the build system. These days they add in a bit of software defined infrastructure and it is a whole new thing. Not in my book, but whatever. There is not doubt it is useful and important and tools like travis and gulp and the ever present git make it a straightforward affair.

Scrum

Scrum is a management and control process that cuts through complexity to focus on building software that meets business needs. Management and teams are able to get their hands around the requirements and technologies, never let go, and deliver working software, incrementally and empirically.

Instead, Kanban came out of lean manufacturing techniques made famous by Japanese automakers who used it to manage their workloads. It is so silly simple that it makes me smile. Bottom Line: good stuff... kanban is.
