I think scrum is very useful if executed properly, especially when something new is being developed. Small-scale attainable and clear goals, the daily sync/unblock, having clarity for 2 weeks (no randomization beyond livesite because all work goes into the backlog), and having a ready set of tasks to work on if you run out of work is great. However scrum can really suck if executed poorly, especially the daily syncs. One of the keys I think is taking things offline and not ratholing, enforcing the time limit (15min), and if there's any manager or PM present not doing engineering work they cannot speak unless spoken to, or perhaps once at the end with any short updates/concerns w.r.t. backlog.
