Business, computer science: workflows: Kanban vs Scrum

Self-tutoring about modern business and comp sci terms: the tutor mentions Kanban and Scrum.

Workflow has various meanings, but one idea is that it’s a series of states a job or artifact passes through in order to be transformed to a finished product.

A classic workflow might include three states: To Do, In Progress, and Done. Kanban and Scrum are two different workflows that can be modeled that way. In that case, what’s their difference?

A Scrum workflow has a definite start and end date. Philosophically, it begins with all the To Dos it will have; subsequent To Dos will be taken up in a different Scrum.

A Kanban workflow is open-ended, timewise. Philosophically, Kanban tries to minimize the number of tasks in play at any instant. However, new To Dos can be added to replace tasks that are Done.
