> why is Kanban not as popular as Scrum? Good question, but is it the right question? While I know that scrum and kanban differ, I've generally seen them used

  > Maybe a more accurate question might be why don't more managers incorporate kanban into their project management processes? Kanban is too freeform for most management and sales to want to follow or encourage. In contrast to Scrum and most traditional planning approaches you don't make a commitment (whether it should be a commitment or not is another issue) to a particular set of capabilities on a particular date. You promise to get work done, as it comes in, based on the priority and capacity of the team/organization to handle. There are no, or few, big meetings. There's no ritual. There are no conferences to attend and certifications to append to your email signature. What's the fun in that for a manager who wants to promote themselves or travel on the company dime? It also requires them to trust their staff which is hard for a person who isn't trustworthy themselves because they're too self-interested and assume everyone else is the same.
