I feel everyone take these into account and go in a better way rather than arguing against each other. This will make nothing else than they stagnate at their plans.

Kanban makes the problems visable sooner leading to faster learning and less rework. These qualities are hard to argue against. If Aglie is working just fine, then the team can challenge itself to get better. Try reducing the batch size (iteration) by half. This will cause problems. It is supposed to. Overcoming these exposed problems will help the team get better. Both of these methods make problems more visable. Kanban makes the problems visable sooner leading to faster learning and less rework.

Our conversation this weekend inspired me to put a few thoughts down on this subject: http://www.leadingagile.com/2009/07/scrum-or-kanban-its-not-black-or-white.html I think we can both agree that a well run agile team is already doing much of what you are talking about here. If a Kanban helps the team get better... and give managers something to do... I am all for it ;-) Mike Great post Dennis.
