If an engineering organization is doing the equivalent of laying on the floor and kicking and screaming that they can't do anything, where signs of this include:
* Split up into multiple teams under different kingdom building directors/VPs
* More time is spent defending Jira SLAs and deflecting blame than actually solving problems
* Dev teams under different managers have an adversarial relationship
If the above is true, just adding a standup for a given initiative that includes all of the team members and just normal human behavior of exposure builds a little trust and collaboration is a miracle pill!
Albeit it's a 'miracle' pill that takes the org from laying on the ground kicking and screaming to slowly making code changes that no customer wants - but comparatively it looks like a miracle to legacy management!
The real solution is to fire 3/4 of the management staff and take the next 3 years to rebuild an effective organization. <-- however, this doesn't sell like a SCRUM Miracle Pill™
