# Switch an Agile Team to Kanban in EAP

# Switch an Agile Team to Kanban in EAP {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated October 2, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Change the planning methodology of an Agile Team from Scrum to Kanban in Enterprise Agile Planning so that the team works from a continuous backlog instead of sprints.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_apw_advanced.eap_admin

## About this task

Each Agile Team follows either the Scrum or the Kanban planning methodology. A Scrum team plans work in sprints. A Kanban team works from a continuous backlog and doesn't use sprints. You can choose to switch a team to Kanban when
it no longer plans work in sprints. For more information about how the two types of teams differ, see [Scrum and Kanban teams in an ART in EAP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9uW40u7LC859GYb8D7vm4Q "Run Scrum and Kanban teams side by side in one Agile Release Train (ART) in Enterprise Agile Planning by setting the planning methodology for each Agile Team.").  
Warning:  
When you save the team as Kanban, all of its current and future sprints are cancelled. sprints that are complete or already cancelled aren't changed.

If the team is connected to Collaborative Work Management (CWM) and has a CWM board, you can't switch it while it has active or planned sprints.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to WorkspacesStrategic Planning Workspace.
2. From the Settings menu, select Agile structure and navigate to the Agile team that you want to switch.
3. On the Details tab, in the Planning methodology field, select Kanban.  
   A warning appears on the field: Switching to Kanban will cancel all current and future sprints for this team. The warning doesn't appear for teams that are connected to a CWM board.

4. Select Save.  
   The message This team has been switched to Kanban and all current and future sprints have been cancelled. appears.
