Status updates every hour or half hour sound like a productivity hellscape. How do people get anything done with such invasive interruptions throughout their working day? You can't even enter a flow state with those sorts of requirements. |

(SCRUM-master / AGILE coach / Project Manager / Line Manager) felt like she was losing control of the development and doubled down on processes to the point where nothing moved anymore and this was her solution to it. It was amazing!
One software solution (nothing fancy, just a shit payment processor integrator), three teams, three technical leads, three team leads and one incompetent master overseeing the Kafkaesque nightmare.
Now you're making me curious if the project is still ongoing. :P

They mostly didn't really, the biggest concern in that company was how to tweak your timesheets to match the estimations as requested by the master.

A lot of times when I'm hating on SCRUM I wonder if I really got unlucky, especially due to my outsourcing beginnings, but then I find it hard to understand how come I get lucky to work with great teams when there are no such barriers in place.
I'm not even against the whole process thing, used to build emergency management systems where we spent 80% of the time planning, estimating, figuring out what can go wrong, working in heavy processes. But they made sense.
