One of the flaws with Scrum in my opinion is that it enables micromanaging. It makes it easier. The whole concept of sprints with tasks and hardline prioritization before the work is in progress is a micromanagers dream.
When you adapt Scrum suddenly there might be micromanaging where there were none before. It happened at my last employer.
- isitmadeofglass 4y agoScrum protects against micro management. The product owner can make a plan in the product backlog, but what goes into the sprint backlog is controlled by the team. I’f the PO says give me X in 3 weeks and the teams says no, then that should never go into the sprint backlog. Once planing is done the PO doesn’t have a say on what happens when and who does what or why. There is a forecast of work that will be done by review, and that is all. Doing micromanagement in scrum means you’ve not clearified who end what in scrum. If the PO thinks that they own the sprint backlog and cans dictate what you do and when you do it that’s a clear misunderstanding.
