> It's always the same with Scrum. Every time you point out something clearly wrong, the response is always "well that's not really scrum, you're doing it wrong".

Well, you are.

Give this shitty process you’re being forced to follow some other name and stop blaming Scrum.

Do Scrum properly and you’ll see why it’s actually fairly good.

> if most attempts ended up implementing it "incorrectly" in the end, it's not a very useful framework to begin with then, is it?

You can’t say that as you’ve not actually done the thing.

The main problem is that most managers and senior company people feel like they want more control that scrum allows them to have, and their use their power to overrule it. That’s their problem and not the fault of the Scrum system.

You may be onto something with communism. It’s definitely not resiliant to the kinds of paychopaths that end up dictators for life. I wish I knew why. Probably something to do with threats of violence.



But on the other hand, capitalism is not resilient to the kind of psychopaths who end up becoming billionaires for life. So there is that.


It usually seems like that’s a feature, rather than a bug. Sadly.
