Before you ask anyone about Scrum, read the https://agilemanifesto.org/ https://agilemanifesto.org/
> Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
> Working software over comprehensive documentation
> Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
> Responding to change over following a plan
Then look at every suggestion through that lens.
- dahwolf 3y agoThe truth of the matter is that most organizations are fundamentally incompatible with agile. Organizations obsess over details. They want detailed plans and cost estimates months ahead. They have a low or zero tolerance for failure. They think in hard promises/contracts and punishment for those that don't deliver. All of this is entirely opposite to the core of agile, which "discovers" reality as it progresses.
- smaudet 3y agoScrum was a (failed) attempt to get companies to think outside the box. For a variety of reasons, it doesn't really work and you can't fix bad management process with it. You can't save a company with scrum. What you might be able to do is study it as an open minded organization and pick out the best parts. And also make sure you have an appropriate engineering (non-functional requirements) process.
