Scrum comes from a software development background, and the switch to kanban for these teams can be problematic. Just-in-time analysis in kanban creates shorter lead times, instead of batch-processing for iteration planning estimates, which is used in scrum. This identifies areas that can be improved and reduces bottlenecks.
