The issue with scrum is that every 2 weeks you are supposed to decide next steps based on customer feedback, not a "business roadmap." Business thinks in terms of quarters, not 2 weeks.

Thus - how does one get predictability out of a process that is designed to be able to change direction within a small increment of time based on unknown customer feedback? I believe the answer is you don't. Business predictability is therefore an issue.

It’s more of a collection of projects than a sequences of sprint. I think the project perspectives (the reality) is more beneficial to the mental health of the devs (which are makers). But managers (bad ones?) love the routine of the sprints, which are then imposed on the teams. At the end, they have all these numbers (story points, issues count, velocity,…) to say that it’s the fault of the devs that nothing has got done.
