Have anybody faced with skepticism about

Scrum?

First reactions:

And it's all?!

Only words…

Is it a religion?

SCRUM VALUES & EMPIRICAL PROCESS CONTROL PILLARS

Imaginary situation (or not):

Courage to not deliver undone software

Commit to the Definition of Done and creating working

software

Focus on the work of the Sprint and the goals

Open about progress

Respect each other

Lack of Commitment:

ScrumMaster is not faithfully committed to the principles

and values of Scrum.

Lack of Commitment:

PO tries to push Dev Team, imposing more tasks than by

forces and requires "Commitment" for a certain

scope and deadlines.

Lack of Courage:

Team members avoid COURAGE and OPEN

discussion about sore points with each other

Lack of Openness:

Nobody speaks OPENLY about major dysfunctions,

because "it is not accepted”here

Lack of Openness:

Scrum team does not speak OPENLY about existing and

identified problems on Sprint Reviews, preferring to deliver

only sweet pills to stakeholders.

Lack of Respect:

Team members do not RESPECT each other,

sometimes hiding critical information.

Lack of Focus:

Team often loses FOCUS and works on less valuable tasks

during the Sprint

Lack of Focus:

PO can not formulate the Sprint goal on Planning

because of the loss of FOCUS

Mechanical Scrum:

What do we lose?

So what to do?FEW POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS

Stop implementing – Start growing

Coach your Team and explain the Values

Find Change Agents

Hire members who would fit the culture:

Ideas how to improve?
