  1. Overall I like the KANBAN approach and that is what my teams normally use. However, we have something closer to multiple queues. I work with a lot of research based code so a great number of the features are only implementable by a subset of the developers. If you need to improve the mathematical stability of a complex algorithm only people with the kinds of skills needed for that problem can work on it. So when people take tasks they take the next highest priority task that they are capable of doing. I have to admit I don't hold completely to that rule though. If I have a day with a bunch of meetings where I don't have time to really get into a hard task but I see a bunch of trivial tasks that I can just get through I will grab a bunch of those. I know it violates the idea of taking the next highest priority task but at least this way tasks get done. If I only have one hour between meetings I just can't deal with mathematical stability, designing a neural network, debugging something complicated, etc.
