Strict Scrum is really not the default in tech. "How Big Tech Runs Tech Projects and the Curious Absence of Scrum" is good reading here & matches my experience.

- robertlagrant 4y agoThe category error of thinking scrum is the same as agile is a big contributor to the complaints.
- pwinnski 4y agoWho said anything about scrum? The comment was about "agile," of which scrum is only one possible implementation[0]. Sprints are not only found in scrum, but also in other agile approaches, like kanban. Two-week sprints seem to be the default in tech, although I've worked at a company that very successfully used one-week sprints. That's completely separate from how strictly companies try to follow "scrum," if at all. I've run into kanban more often than scrum, personally. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development
