Fixed Requirements vs Kanban
Developers should use Fixed Requirements in projects with well-understood, stable needs, such as regulatory compliance systems or legacy system migrations, where scope clarity is critical to avoid costly rework meets developers should learn kanban when working in fast-paced, iterative environments where priorities shift frequently, as it provides real-time visibility into work status and helps manage workflow without fixed sprints. Here's our take.
Fixed Requirements
Developers should use Fixed Requirements in projects with well-understood, stable needs, such as regulatory compliance systems or legacy system migrations, where scope clarity is critical to avoid costly rework
Fixed Requirements
Nice PickDevelopers should use Fixed Requirements in projects with well-understood, stable needs, such as regulatory compliance systems or legacy system migrations, where scope clarity is critical to avoid costly rework
Pros
- +It is suitable when stakeholders have clear, unchanging specifications and the project requires strict adherence to initial plans for contractual or financial reasons
- +Related to: waterfall-methodology, requirements-gathering
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Kanban
Developers should learn Kanban when working in fast-paced, iterative environments where priorities shift frequently, as it provides real-time visibility into work status and helps manage workflow without fixed sprints
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for maintenance teams, support operations, or projects with unpredictable workloads, as it reduces cycle times and improves responsiveness to changes
- +Related to: agile-methodology, scrum
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Fixed Requirements if: You want it is suitable when stakeholders have clear, unchanging specifications and the project requires strict adherence to initial plans for contractual or financial reasons and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Kanban if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for maintenance teams, support operations, or projects with unpredictable workloads, as it reduces cycle times and improves responsiveness to changes over what Fixed Requirements offers.
