I wrote, “Scrum is a cancer,” and the Internet had thoughts about it
I'll reply with what I said last time:Read the Agile Manifesto, it's been written by people far smarter and wiser than me, and likely most of us.https://agilemanifesto.org/Manifesto for Agile Software DevelopmentWe are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:Individuals and interactions over processes and toolsWorking software over comprehensive documentationCustomer collaboration over contract negotiationResponding to change over following a planThat is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.---IMHO: Agile is great.  It can even happen without calling it... agile!Alas: Most SCRUM is not Agile.My opinion on SCRUM: As implemented in most places, it is WORSE than waterfall.  It lacks the planning of waterfall, and the psychological tricks of timeboxing.That said, I bet you could take all the same "practices" and move them into a better culture, and they'd work.Culture will always trump process.
