> leaders at big tech companies are not so worried about "number of tickets closed ... or some such related easily quantifiable metric ... Corporate leaders, especially in tech, are largely worried about a slow deterioration/decline in innovation, general employee dedication
So, why is there so much (corporate anti-)Scrum everywhere?
I mean, most employees hate it with a passion, and the typical excuse is that it makes velocity more predictable, even if slower. Now you are telling me that the corporate leaders in tech do not care about quantifiable things, and are worried about innovation and employees. How can both of this be true at the same time?
I guess I will stay with my null hypothesis that most corporate leaders have no idea what they are doing, and just randomly do whatever feels right at the moment.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoThey may all be under one company, but I think we all know different teams even within the same org can have very different cultures. I think that's the issue. Some cutting edge R&D team may have legitmately worries about innovation. the team maintaining decade old legacy code, less so. But for several reasons these kinds of mandates need to be company wide, not just opt in/out per team (though yes, there will be exceptions for the exceptional, as always). So I can see both yours and the GP's idea both being correct, to some degree.
