# Corey Ladas Corey Ladas is a software development practitioner and author best known for creating [[Scrumban]], a hybrid methodology combining [[Scrum]] and [[Kanban Methodology]]. He introduced the concept around 2008 through a series of blog posts on his Lean Software Engineering blog, later compiling his ideas into a book. Ladas's work emerged from practical experience helping teams transition from Scrum to leaner approaches. Rather than viewing Scrum and Kanban as competing frameworks, he demonstrated how they could be combined—using Kanban's flow-based practices to evolve Scrum teams toward continuous improvement. ## Key Contributions - **[[Scrumban]]**: Created the hybrid methodology bridging Scrum and Kanban - **Lean Software Engineering blog**: Influential writings on lean and agile practices - **Transition patterns**: Documented approaches for teams moving between methodologies ## Notable Books - *Scrumban: Essays on Kanban Systems for Lean Software Development* (2009) ## References - http://leansoftwareengineering.com ## Related - [[Scrumban]] - [[Scrum]] - [[Kanban Methodology]] - [[Agile Manifesto]] - [[Lean Software Development]] ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Corey Ladas]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Books <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/book AND [[Corey Ladas]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC -->
