Well, in Norway nearly everybody uses "Scrum" but Scrum is not always Scrum. To make it rock, you need a certain mindset - in the team and the company - and culture. It is primarily about values and culture, not processes. Changing culture is hard. Maybe a different process might help with it (if it blends better with its current state) or may be not. The state os SW development in general makes me sad panda, especially after having read Poppendieck's Lean SW development: From Concept to Cash and then looking at real-world project all around.

"Scrum is not always Scrum." - Big point, haha - I see hundreds of people using "Scrum" and not Scrum.
