The 12 Principles Of The Agile Manifesto
When the agile ‘godfathers’ got together to come up with agile change principles all those years ago,

Kanban
Kanban is a simple agile methodology. It is not time-based, unlike Scrum. Instead, it is based on ordering a set of prioritised activities through the funnel of ‘To do’, ‘Doing’ through to ‘Done’.
