>"Scrum requires that ..."

Interesting trait of scrum - whenever there is scrum related discussion the no true Scotsman fallacies immediately pop up. By the way, scrum is actually a methodology to get something out of non-delivering teams. For everybody else it is just like throwing sand into their engine's cylinders.

I would agree with that. When a company brings me in, the first question I ask is "What is the problem you are trying to solve?"

Most of the problems that management think are because of the team are mostly (80%+) caused by people/processes/habits/cultural issues UPSTREAM of the team.

In other words, shit rolls down hill.
