I'm confused that this post received so much attention and this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5390897 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5390897) received almost none.
Wade's lightweight process didn't add the bullshit layers of Scrum's painful "retrospectives" and standups. Scott's approach may be "Scrum lite" but it still isn't helpful or productive. Standups are painful and often about as effective as asking your kids how their day at school went. Retrospectives are practically like water-boarding your entire team once a week.
Didn't get everything you planned done this week? Welcome to the real world, get used to it and figure out how to get the most important things delivered instead. Teams need ownership and accountability not babysitting and handholding.
