> then take the good from the bad as a source of constant improvement. I worked as an engineer, PM, and a manager, when I was an engineer and scrum was applied wrongly, I tried to communicate for that “continuous improvement”, but that only works with an actual leaderships that listen, 99% of your middle management are just power hungry folks that are kept in their positions to take the shit instead of senior managements, when I worked as a PM however and tried to customize those agile tools per project and per team personalities too, everyone was happy, projects got delivered and things worked as expected. In 90% those situations you can never blame the engineers, look at the work environment as a workshop, the guy working in that shop is the PM and the tools are your engineers, ultimately that guy is accountable for the success or failure to deliver that work, if you start blaming the tools you have in the workshop, then you are the incompetent one, simply put.
