What's the alternative, where devs are motivated and productive, the team can react to the market quickly, and the business can rely on delivery dates for commercial and marketing?
I'm not saying scrum and agile achieve the above. But what does? Seems like a 3 things pick 2 situation, and the 2 that get picked will time and again be the last 2.

There is a chance every two weeks to change scope, requirements, direction. What happens when requirements change? Work is redone, new work is taken on, dates get pushed. Scrum does not provide predictability beyond one sprint, it is part of the point. The work of the next sprint is based on the outcome of the previous.
- afro88 3y agoI know, I said: > I'm not saying scrum and agile achieve the above. Companies abuse scrum to try and achieve the last 2 objectives. Sprints become commitments, sprints are planned out in advance, story points become days etc
- seadan83 3y agoAh, thank you for the clarification! :) I really did not read your statement carefully enough and I apologize for that.
