I am a senior engineer and I still haven't experienced the mythical "scrum done well". Every single project that attempts scrum ends up burning people out eventually. The main cause is that it's a grossly leaky abstraction that forces people to micromanage themselves. If your company sucks, scrum is not going to save it.
- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoI've seen it work, but only in very small teams (not teams that were a part of a big corporation, mind you, but small teams in a very small companies). Where there was a thick layer of middle management comprised mostly of social climbers and micromanagers, it all fell apart because all the rituals were in place for all the wrong reasons.
- andrekandre 4y ago> I've seen it work, but only in very small teams i have the same intuition i think its once managers, pdms, other peer teams (android/ios/backend together) and scrum masters start getting involved, it starts to get convoluted... estimations take too much time, ceremonies start to fossilize, plans become too rigid, and retros are too general... on the other hand, a team of 2 or 3 people talking about what to do for the next 2 weeks, going over blockers/issues once a day (or so) doesn't seem too bad idk just my experience
