Agreed, however; > We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention. I think the no-laptop thing is good, and unsurprisingly, it has nothing to do with Scrum. > Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint. Out of all the bullshit that makes up Scrum and (what has become) "Agile", this is the one that clogs the toilet. I can imagine a world where this idea of "complexity, not time" is done properly, but it's not this one. Srumm is Agile™. Real Agile means working in incredibly fast feedback loops, to the point where you can't tell it's part of a process, because it's all working so fluidly. Trying to put that into a series of rigid set meetings is the antithesis of that.
