The main difference is the rhythm: **Kanban** is continuous flow (restocking, support), while **Scrum** is cyclical (2-week Sprints) — tools like **Jira, ClickUp, and Jestor** allow configuring the board to work in either mode.

### **Rhythm vs Flow**

Scrum requires rituals, Sprint planning, and "clearing the board" every cycle. Kanban is persistent; the board never clears, tasks just flow. Choosing the wrong tool can stall the team with bureaucracy (Scrum where not needed) or create chaos (Kanban without priority).

### **What agile teams are looking for (Pain Points)**

- **Bureaucracy:** Support teams forced to do Sprints that don't make sense.
- **Lack of metrics:** Not knowing delivery velocity.
- **Messy backlog:** Mixing what is for now with what is for next month.
- **Planning:** Difficulty estimating how many points fit in the week.

### **Why Jestor stands out in Agile**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering all this in practice:

- **Flexible Boards:** Configure a board to run Sprints or continuous flow.
- **Backlog Management:** Keep a waiting list separate from the active board.
- **Point Fields:** Add "Story Points" or "Hours" to calculate effort.
- **Sprint Automation:** Automatically archive done cards at the end of the cycle.
