I have an experience of working in a company that claimed to do Scrum, but in fact every single thing that you list as the reasons for Scrum not to work was followed exactly (I mean as in the list, not as in Scrum). So everyone said: "we tried Scrum, and it doesn't work, let's try something else". With the same results, obviously. :)
Oh my, I'm sorry you experienced all those pitfalls first-hand. :-(
My ulterior motive behind my post is twofold: I want to point out the pitfalls so people can avoid them, and I would really like the Scrum proponents to take on the responsibility to figure out how to mitigate these pitfalls.
I get the sense from the Scrum luminaries that they don't seem to realize that these are serious issues, and can leave people with a bad experience Scrum. (Even if the Scrum luminaries would dismiss the complaint as "You're doing Scrum wrong", which isn't so helpful.)
You probably noticed that I did not provide remedies to the pitfalls I mentioned. I don't have any silver bullets for those problems.
I hope that just being aware of the pitfalls will help someone.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Very nicely summarized. Thank you.
