Synchronous Development vs Kanban
Developers should learn and use Synchronous Development in environments where rapid iteration, high-quality code, and team learning are priorities, such as in agile or extreme programming (XP) teams 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.
Synchronous Development
Developers should learn and use Synchronous Development in environments where rapid iteration, high-quality code, and team learning are priorities, such as in agile or extreme programming (XP) teams
Synchronous Development
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Synchronous Development in environments where rapid iteration, high-quality code, and team learning are priorities, such as in agile or extreme programming (XP) teams
Pros
- +It is particularly beneficial for complex projects requiring close collaboration, onboarding new team members, or reducing knowledge silos, as it allows for instant feedback and shared ownership of code
- +Related to: agile-methodology, extreme-programming
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 Synchronous Development if: You want it is particularly beneficial for complex projects requiring close collaboration, onboarding new team members, or reducing knowledge silos, as it allows for instant feedback and shared ownership of code 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 Synchronous Development offers.
