| The proper way to fight scrum is simply doing scrum properly. Nobody usually wants this. For developers scrum is actually quite nice. The main success metric is predictability, i.e. the team is held accountable for delivering the sprint successfully. Which means you're supposed to be left alone while the sprint is ongoing. Some bug? Pfft, if not critical, will maybe take it next sprint. Finance needs a new report, pronto? Sure, let's talk about business value for priorization. And earliest next sprint anyway. CEO has a crazy idea that he wants somebody to pull off? Sure, but please talk to Product. What do you mean, you need more story points delivered per sprint? The main issue is there are actually people that thrive in this kind of bureaucrazy. I've seen a number of 20-something POs burning themselves over these shitty processes. |
