Kanban is Scrum's best kept secret. Contrary to the commonly held opinion, it does not have to be Scrum or Kanban. Indeed, it can be Scrum with Kanban. By using Professional Scrum with Kanban will:

Boost your self-management capabilities
Provide focus on getting to Done
Help the Scrum Events be efficient as possible
Give you answers to your stakeholder's questions
