Scrum forces you to package your work into daily sound bites. It pull your focus elsewhere and reframes your work in a wasteful way where you are always cutting off the corners because of how it affects your 30 second daily advertisement.

- theteapot 3y ago> daily advertisement Not defending scrum but sounds more like you've been abused by bad culture disguised as scrum.
- shrimp_emoji 3y agoA place with daily standups? Their "sound biting" of a complex issue resonates. It can be difficult to even explain what I'm doing to several people in the bandwidth of 2 minutes sometimes. Most charitably, it's just a quick, lossy status report and forced request for help with blockers. I feel like something is wrong if you feel like you need to cut corners to perform a "good-looking" report in standup. You shouldn't feel/cave to such a pressure.
- theteapot 3y agoI was referring to "advertisement" part not the "daily" part. Stand ups can be a way for people who know / want to game the system to prosper in the eyes of some idiot scrum master and managers, while our guy here gets smoked and made to look like he isn't productive. You shouldn't cave, but if that's the culture around your in for an uphill battle. > I feel like something is wrong ... Yeah, bad culture.

- skeeter2020 3y agoI have plenty of complaints about scrum the process, but don't think it's much different than the results of scaling up and standardizing any process across teams of varying levels of skill and commitment.
