> It's interesting to speculate on why, if Scrum is so bad, everyone uses it? Scrum is bad (as implemented by bigcorp), but waterfall is worse (as implemented by bigcorp). A simple example from my past. My team was scrum based in a bigcorp that mostly did waterfall, so of course we did scrum badly too. That said, our scrum team shipped a major integration feature in two sprints (4 weeks) that the partner integrating team inserted into a 14 month long waterfall release train. It took ~16 months to ship a feature to customers that took 4 weeks to build and internally validate. If there had been less bigcorp bullshit said feature might have taken 3 days, but at least 4 weeks is better than 14 months, although in this case customers got the worst of both.
