While I'm sure some of the specific practices used by scrum teams are valuable on personal projects, the broader notion of Scrum for Personal projects seems strange to me. Scrum gets it’s name from rugby. During a rugby scrum, the entire cross-functional team works to move the ball down the field. If there's just one guy, he isn't in a scrum, he's just sprinting. Besides that stretched metaphor, half of the key statements in the agile manifesto are about collaboration and working with people. Having “Agile for one” doesn’t really make sense. While planning ahead and doing retrospectives is definitely a good idea for personal projects, doing those things doesn't mean you're doing scrum.
