Aaaand right off the bat you've lost me.
Define "works". If you mean it is a process and can be followed, sure, I guess?
I would rather define it as "bullshit that keeps non technical people happy and in control". Despite the derogatory tone, I think that can have it's place. For example, engineers are generally terrible at selling their product, and knowing what end users actually want -- with non technical applications. So having "business people" run the show there is probably a good idea.
Where it becomes unbearably moronic however, is when that happens at a supposedly tech company.
- BarryMilo 4y agoScrum is explicitly about giving control to the developers. This is why it's not used "correctly" (read: rigorously) in a lot of businesses, it's fundamentally incompatible with the micromanaging approach that control freak managers tend to use.
