> Rule 20: When somebody says Agile, push for Kanban, not Scrum

From my experience, scrum is better. The idea is that you can measure progress and you can learn from mistakes with scrum.

Kanban doesn't help in that regard.

Also, a good scrum master will tell you some things:

- a successful sprint is one in which not all stories were finished, because the goal was ambitious

- do not sweat over spill-overs; they happen all the time, it's not the end of the world as long as you work 8h/day really focused and give your best

I know that in the US you got modern slavery with insame working and commuting hours, but life is decent in places like Europe.
