Don’t Scrum When Your Sprints Are Predictable And Stable

That's really evil...

Teams should commit to reaching a goal instead of a meticulous plan.

That may be so. Still, the fact remains that the words estimate and estimation are gone.

My failure was to coach the team properly in creating done increments and having these reviewed.

5 Things You May Think Are Part Of Scrum But Got Removed

Does Self-Management Mean a Scrum Team Can Move Away from Scrum?

But what is stealth about this approach?

I would look at the value the team creates and whether the team is able to achieve its goals.

Moving back to waterfall is seldom a good thing. I hope I didn’t make this impression.

Yes, I did.

Great Scrum Masters Know When Their Team Should Abolish Scrum

I think it changed because of lessons learned.

I don’t understand why this specific topic has anything to do with the agile manifesto.

thanks. Corrected.

Thank you for sharing your experiences Hinrich. I also have found these techniques useful.

I also see the merit of estimating as you describe it.

I would suggest starting to work with goals, like the product goal.

Scrum works with Product Goals.

Scrum didn’t remove estimation because it may be irrelevant.

Thanks! I basically propose the same scenario for that.

Great Managers Are Catalysts of Succesful Agile Organisations

This comes across as making a point to make a point.

You describe a way of working that is unhelpful to generate feedback as fast as possible.

What if teams exist that do this?

It appears your organisation had no reason to move to Scrum.

Many organisations use Scrum this way.

In such a situation, it indeed is excellent to gather evidence through data and feedback.

I humbly disagree.

Thanks a lot for these kind words.

Thank you Nazly Ramos P

I believe many teams have no idea what the customer wants.

Very good points indeed Amay Tavanandi

I don’t know.

If teams work on the same product, they could start planning together just like LeSS does.

Organisations Fail With Scrum Because They Don’t Want True Change

Indeed. This happens oh so often.

Scrum Teams That Don’t Verify Their Outcomes Are Basically Waterfall Teams

I believe it is important to educate/train the manager.

This is true.

That's very humbling Maarten. Thank you.

Liberty vs Control — Why Scrum Teams And Managers Collide

I argue that looking at how a team is doing to reach the goal is a form of planning.

I’d argue both people look at the WHAT. With that, they fit the PO bill and not the SM bill.

Good points. When is a team still doing Scrum in this example? Maybe in most cases not anymore.

Yes, I agree with that.

Fair point. I’d say leading by doing these things.

Good call! I will change it immediately.

Hi Patrick.

Scrum Created the Product Owner and Spawned a Myriad of Conflicting Functions

I’m not impressed by your knowledge of Scrum and Agile.

Enforcing frameworks upon teams is never a good idea.

I believe every type of environment requires a different approach.
