DevOps frameworks

Scrum, Kanban, ITIL 4 change enablement and CALMS answer different questions. Most teams combine them: one to plan the work, another to govern the change.

Scrum and Kanban for the work

Scrum organizes work into fixed-length sprints with a prioritized backlog and regular reviews. Kanban visualizes the flow on a board and limits work in progress so items finish instead of piling up. Both make the work visible, which is the first condition for improving it.

ITIL 4 for the change

ITIL 4 calls it change enablement: classifying each change by risk and giving it the right level of authorization. Standard changes are pre-approved, normal changes are assessed, and emergency changes follow a fast path that is still recorded.

Combining them without bureaucracy

  • Plan and track the work with Scrum or Kanban.
  • Govern only the changes whose risk justifies it.
  • Keep approvals and evidence on the same record as the work.
  • Review the flow with data, not with status meetings.

How DevGob applies it

DevGob ships Scrum and Agile processes for the work, and a Deployment flow with Normal, Standard and Emergency change types and two committee gates for the change — configurable per workspace.
