Yeah, this seems like it could have been a few paragraphs. It goes on and on.

I’ll give my hot take without reading.

I’ve been in a lot of kinds of scrum and it seems like a YMMV thing. The most effective scrums are the ones which start from first principle and create a process for the teams current needs.

Many of the most effective ones worked out of a spreadsheet or Google doc rather than an issue tracker. Sometime the PM would update the issue tracker behind the scenes to keep devs out of it.

Anyways, my point is that most effective things are custom built rather than trying to apply a blanket process across a company or to different situations.

Nearly 100% of the scrum processes I was involved with at Fortune 500 companies were top-down mandates that could not be deviated from.
