Why Scrum Fails


Scrum is a popular framework for agile project management, but implementing it can be challenging. In this podcast episode, Lee Henson discusses the importance of understanding the principles and guidelines outlined in the Scrum Guide, as well as the need for surrounding business agility to support the Scrum framework. Here are 5 tips for successfully implementing Scrum in your organization:

  1. Understand the Scrum Guide: Scrum is not meant to be a one-size-fits-all solution. It's important to read the Scrum Guide thoroughly and understand the principles and guidelines outlined in it before implementing Scrum in your organization.

  2. Cross-functional teams: Scrum requires cross-functional teams that can work together to deliver value. It's important to ensure that your team is diverse and has the necessary skills to deliver value.

  3. Accountability: Scrum is all about accountability. Each team member should be accountable for their work, and the team as a whole should be accountable for delivering value.

  4. Continuous value delivery: Scrum is designed to deliver value to the customer continuously. It's important to focus on delivering value and not just completing tasks.

  5. Problem-solving: Scrum is a problem-solving framework. It's important to have a clear understanding of your organization's vision and strategy before implementing Scrum, and to focus on problem-solving throughout the process.

In conclusion, implementing Scrum requires a deep understanding of the framework and its principles. By following these tips, your organization can successfully implement Scrum and deliver value to your customers. Remember to stay healthy, stay well, and stay agile!
