I’ve felt the opposite. My team switched from “Scrum” to “Kamban”. Then after a few months the sensation of having an endless pile of cards, without a time frame, felt overwhelming.
In the other hand, having a short lived cycle used to help me manage my time. If for any reason one day I was not able to accomplish much, I knew I still had a few more days to compensate. The same was true for the opposite, I could be really productive a few days and then I could relax for the rest of the sprint.
That workflow really worked for me. With Kanaban I feel the pressure to always be “productive”, because I don’t have a clear reference on how “relaxed” I’m (or not), during the week or month.
Maybe I just need to find a different reference. I guess my point is that sprints don’t necessarily mean pressure for everyone.
