Another day and another post where someone who believes their companies incorrect adoption of the Scrum framework is evidence that Scrum itself is at fault and therefore creates a Strawman to attack.
Scrum is a victim of Semantic Diffusion. https://martinfowler.com/bliki/SemanticDiffusion.html https://martinfowler.com/bliki/SemanticDiffusion.html
You know all of those things that you're doing at work when someone says its Scrum? Chances are they're not Scrum but practices that are additional to Scrum:
User Stories? Not Scrum
Story Points? Not Scrum
YAGNI? Not Scrum
Pair Programming? Not Scrum
Planning Poker? Not Scrum
The list goes on.
I recommend that anyone who currently hates Scrum to spend 30 minutes one lunch time and read the Scrum Guide: http://www.scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html http://www.scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html
You may then realise how that consultancy that your company hired butchered it to sell their people to do transformation, or that old school Programme Manager changed it because he wanted more control, or that Scrum Master who joined a company who was already doing a butchered Scrum implementation and did a 2 day course and learned nothing else then espoused what they knew as Scrum when they joined a new company.
