Yep you are so right. I think your point about guidelines feels spot on. It is keeping in mind that that is what they are.

On a personal level I hope the team I'm in are never put in that position. I think it helps that there is a mix in the organisation of people who have worked like that for a lot of their careers and people coming to it fresh from different backgrounds.

Im speaking as someone quite early on that journey so dont have strong views on right or wrong just a feeling it works better as a conversation.

The team I'm in have so far had the freedom to learn and adapt how we do things to fit what we need. Both our scrum master and product owner are great at setting the tone of "this is where we need to get to in terms of what the other teams want or need in the way of common process - how do we do that in a way that works for us?"
