People trying to shoehorn scrum into their startup is the problem - not scrum itself
It is specifically designed for interfacing with project-external stakeholders.
It works well for “project teams” in a large org for whom the project isn’t the primary business focus. e.g. an internal tool to assist with problem X, or a development project for an external entity.
There is no other use case for which scrum is a good fit - and it’s those mismatched experiences that always result in scrum hate.
I think people just got caught up in the cool name and the certifications and blah.
Stop using scrum for the wrong thing!
- _def 3y agoThat sounds sensible. Soo... How do you get your managers to this insight? In my company each team uses scrum and I think no one is really happy with it. Mine certainly isn't. I'm not even talking about the engineers: at least from my point of view everyone involved suffers from it. But I have the impression we lack responsibility for such decisions. Oh well, I think I'm just venting now :)
