Maybe if you don't fill a team with nine juniors that have no mentors, you don't get this problem? It's not like FAANG isn't hiring boatloads of new grads ever

It's not like FAANG isn't hiring boatloads of new grads every year. Why don't those people need scrum to get on the right track, but half the rest of the industry seems to?
- robertlagrant 5y agoThose companies are very engineering-led. Boatloads of excellent engineers; deadlines are "it'll be ready when it's ready"; marketing is (and thus marketing deadlines are) light, so there's less planning needed; featuresets are largely defined by the engineering teams. Anything that is reasonably unpredictable in terms of requirements but needs to be reasonably predictable in terms of feature delivery speed is a good candidate. We use it because we need to release versions of our software a chunk at a time, and it's the closest we can get to continuous delivery given that constraint.
- hiptobecubic 5y agoGoogle Cloud is not at all "it'll be ready when it's ready" with light marketing and feature sets defined by engineers.
- pas 5y agoFAANG has a lot of metrics and rituals (planning/RFCs/6-pagers, retro, reviews, 360 reviews, some do sprints, some don't), the do their own scrum.
