====== How Do We Use Kanban at the Team Level When the ART Has a Cadenced Calendar? - SSA ======

As organizations deploy SAFe we typically see several questions from people wanting to have more information about how Kanban is deployed in a SAFe environment at the team level. People indicate that Kanban may be the more suitable practice for their situation. Others feel that the nature of SAFe makes it difficult to implement Kanban, at least superficially.

This page is aimed at working through those issues to provide an understanding of some specific recommended practices, especially as the team integrates into a larger ART structure. In addition, we will provide a background understanding of both the “why” and “how” to think about these practices so you can adapt them to your context. These are expected to be (at best) a starting point for implementation of your practices. You will improve on these base practices as part of your relentless improvement program.

We will begin buy reviewing the basics of a textbook implementation of both Kanban and Scrum, and then look pragmatically at approaches we can apply both at the team and train level. We will look to leverage the good parts of both Kanban and Scrum to improve our practice.

> Spoiler alert! In the end Scrum teams can benefit from Kanban approaches and Kanban can benefit from Scrum approaches. While not a formal method (like Scrum and Kanban) some call this combined approach Scrumban.
