> I long for the days of a (small!) daily standup coupled with simple Kanban and an issue backlog. Scrum is just that plus these things: - showing the client or their in-house rep what you've done and getting their input on it - checking in with yourself + your team that the systems are working or working out how to improve them - some recommendations for how often to do those, and for how long - definitions of two other roles: one to own shaping the backlog and one to work as "manager" - does soft-skills people stuff, liases around the company to solve blockages, trains the developers who need it how to do this last bit themselves. Scrum is informal, and the only strict parts are designed to monkey about with traditional business structures (business analysts, project management, line managers). When I say "monkey about with" I mean this: change the roles and lines of communication to reduce silo-ing.
