This is so true. I see Agile be incredibly effective for teams with a single focus, and no (or very minimal) matrixing of team members across other teams. Once you start matrixing team members or adding additional focus, you start getting the 45 minute long stand ups. It's nuts.
One insanely massive benefit I've seen from agile for any team is time blocking via sprints. Getting 2 weeks of effort without changing priorities is a huge win in our company.

- pbrb 10y agoYeah, it's a constant fight to keep things that way. For teams that need to be more reactive/responsive to constant change (like my own), scrumban has actually been a pretty good fit. We're a small 3 person team who is expected to turn high priority items around quickly, while also running longer term projects at the same time. Scrumban let's us track both needs pretty well, and we even pull tickets from other team's boards that we get matrixed into, onto our own internal board. Highly recommend trying it if you're in a similar position.
