In the madness of selling Agile and adopting the buzz, many wrong interpretation and implementation is rampant. We need to understand and remind ourselves that,
Scrum is not:
- Marketing gimmick!!! Please stop fooling customers by setting wrong expectations.
- about doing no documentation at all.
- about saving cost ( in longer terms may be, but not ROI take some time )
- a magic wand, that will produce software in a day/week.
- asking customer that we would do everything for you and you sit back, relax and enjoy. Rather, scrum is about sharing journey with customer.
- Making developers commit to some stupid timeline, and leaving developers no choice!
- Is not very helpful, if don't align/improve your engineering practices to be able to ship quickly.
Will continue updating this, based on my experience. Any comments or personal experiences are welcome. :)
There is no ideal world, but, we as professionals, must be aware of what is right and what is wrong and stop saying Yes, when you want to say No.
