All about Scrum

[WTFH]

Fourth bullet point in the article I posted above: "Scrum isn’t an acronym and isn’t spelt SCRUM"

If you've ever heard a ref, he doesn't say "scrum", he says "SCRUM!"

There’s a company in Twickenham looking for a few SCRUM masters. Most of their workers are foreign but weren’t good enough to get work where they are from.

What are you all wittering on about? I thought a scrum was something from rugby. With 40 years software development I've always JFDI and relied on my innate ability to guide me. Stop painting by numbers and be proper artists that's what I say

You're almost as funny as you think you are...

We have a daily stand up, it does focus the mind (ABC -> Always Be Coding) , we do have to deliver or explain. If you combine it with a monthly sprint you do know where you are going.

It like many approaches does deliver some value, however like many religions one should just take part of the rules to get the true value.

Michael O Church wrote a candid and controversial article about Scrum a few years ago. I guess the value derived from scrum depends on motive behind its use and how its used (i.e. as a method of empowerment or of control)

Useful article: Scrum doesn’t say… A rant about what Scrum isn’t.

Many, if not most, of the complaints about Scrum I hear are caused by people mindlessly copying practices from whatever dysfunctional organisation they first learned about agile in.

So a 30 year old guy who has done a crappy course from a polytechnic university in an unrelated field thinks he can provide coaching to C level executive board?!

Are these people for real?

They are, unfortunately. And 95% of them couldn't give a dang about servant leadership, collaboration, agile mindset or continuous improvement. They really want to be managers instead. The remaining 5% are the ones companies should be looking for.
