Feature-Driven Development vs Kanban
Developers should learn FDD when working on complex, long-term projects that require systematic planning and frequent delivery of working features, such as enterprise applications or large-scale systems 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.

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
