I really hope I'll live long enough to be in the Scrum project that's run this way. In all the companies I worked for Scrum with its sprint and daily stand-up meetings just becomes a tool for micromanaging the team. EDIT: My own understanding of Scrum was, that you can commit to a deadline for the whole project (say, we'll have this application ready by the end of Q3), and then use sprints and backlog prioritization to manipulate the project scope. So, when you hit the deadline you always have ready to use product, just maybe with less functionality than intended.
