Bullshit clickbait is bullshit clickbait.
Scrum doesn't inherently suck. Scrum can work if you do it right. It won't if you don't.
Just leaving it up to the individual team leads to the same result. If the team sucks at managing their work, the team will suck at managing their work. It doesn't matter what you follow if you suck at it.
This isn't as catchy and feel-good as the bullshit clickbait that reinforces what you want to believe (that the process is the problem, not you or your team). But it's accurate.
- madspindel 3y agoIt's something with the argument "X can work if you do it right" that feels really off. If it's hard to do it right, maybe it wasn't that good of an idea from the beginning? You don't hear that argument about things that actually works.
- Tao3300 3y agoConversely, "X can really suck if you do it wrong" is true of pretty much everything.
- crowcroft 3y agoI don't have any love for 'scrum' but, I tend to agree with this. It's reductive to say we should just use tools the right way, but also, we don't say a hammer sucks when we use it to try drive screws into wood.
