I must say, a difficult question, as both methodologies have a different audience and way of use.  Although Kanban is of the same family as Scrum.  in fact, in my opninion it's a light weight Scrum with a more dynamic area.  I'm going to setup Kanban for our team here after my holiday (somewhere around mid november).

But about our question, Doug Shimp has wrote a nice blog article about it.  You can read it here: http://doug-shimp.net/scrum-faq/will-kanban-replace-scrum/

You don't know anything about Scrum, but want to know more about it, well here's some help.

When playing around with custom Work Item Types, there will be a moment you want to delete this item. Standard this isn't possible.  But when you install the Microsoft Power Tools for TFS, you have a program tfpt.

With this program you could use the command destroywitd, which will delete your WIT. Use it this way:

tfpt destroywitd /server:<tfsservername> /project:<projectname> /workitemtype:<witdname>

The WIT will now be physically removed from the server and can't be resrtored.
