Many still want that Scrum Master do the PM role alongside the Scrum Master role, or wrongly assume all those PM activities have disappeared and then panic later when they realise no-one is looking after the mandatory governance activities.
I've also seen first hand where clients have mapped their PMs to Scrum Masters. The result is that things are effectively run as Waterfall projects but the plan is artificially split into sprints so that everyone can play along and use agile terminology.Last edited by Paralytic; 7 October 2019, 08:59.Comment

Something that started out lightweight has become a monstrous process far more convoluted than traditional processes. Bring back waterfall, proper project management and upfront analysis/design. In the said 11 year period I've had two projects that weren't cursed by it. Both had MS Word documents detailing the actual requirements and design. What a joy to code to and something for the testers to test against. Both delivered on time and within budget. Go waterfall!
Agree with above

I forecast at least 6 months of dead quiet market, maybe 12.
Permanent market will be booming though.Comment

Budget and Brexit are crucial announcements to where we are going.Comment
