Scrum and XP are new - their principles are not

Re: One day in Kanban land In a Scrum sprint, would you be OK with not having a sprint plan, and instead having the PO add stories to the sprint on a just-in-time basis? That particular aspect is otherwise what I consider to be non-Scrum. Scrum, as I've understood it, prescribes...

AFAIK, t...
