4. LET’S START POSITIVE.
SCRUM WORKS! WHEN
USED FOR THE RIGHT JOB
IN THE RIGHT WAY

7. WHAT SCRUM ACTUALLY IS?
THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME
SORT OF MISUNDERSTANDING
ABOUT THIS.

8. “The New New Product Development Game” -
Hirotaka Takeuchi & Ikujiro Nonaka, 1986.

9. “Scrum is a framework for developing and
sustaining complex products.”

10. FRAMEWORK
(COMPLEX) PRODUCTS
DEVELOPMENT

11. TOP 10 ANTI
PATTERNS OF
SCRUM USAGE

12. #1 NOT WILLING TO
ADAPT YOUR PROCESS
SCRUM IS NOT A PROCESS. IT’S A
FRAMEWORK FOR EMPIRICAL
PROCESS CONTROL
IT’S A VEHICLE, NOT THE
DESTINATION

13. #2 MAINTAING THE
PRODUCTION
SCRUM IS TIMEBOXED. IT’S YOUR
FIRST CLUE
ITERATIONS PROMOTE FOCUS FOR 1-
4 WEEKS. CAN YOU WAIT THAT
MUCH?

14. #3 JUST SHORT OF A
TEAM
THERE’S 2 OF YOU. YOU ARE A
COUPLE. GET A ROOM.
EVEN AT 3, YOU SHOULD COSINDER
ALTERNATIVE GROUPING METHODS

15. #4 UNABLE TO HAVE
STABLE TEAMS
FIRST OF ALL – I AM NOT BUYING
THIS. STOP STARTING AND START
FINISHING.
OVERBURDERN WILL HAPPEN, THE
PRINCIPLES ARE NOT ACCEPTED

16. #5 PROJECT TOO
SIMPLE
BACKLOG IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR
AT LEAST 3 SPRINTS? REMEMBER:
COMPLEX PRODUCTS
NOTHING TO LEARN ALONG THE WAY,
JUST REPETITIVE WORK?

17. #6 HETEROGENOUS
SKILL SETS
1 DEVELOPER, 1 DB GURU AND 1
SCIENTIST WALK WALK INTO A
PLANNING POKER GAME.
PULL PRINCIPLE WILL NOT WORK.
PARTS OF THE FRAMEWORK ARE
STILL USABLE.

18. #7 DON’T WANT TO
LEARN (SCRUM)
SCRUM IS NOT SIMPLE AND WILL NOT
BRING RESULTS UNLESS YOU LEARN
AND RE-LEARN IT.
COACHING; INTERNAL TRANSITION
TEMS; READING A LOT. KEYS TO
SUCCESS.

19. #8 DON’T BELIEVE IN
IT
ORGANISATION WANTS THE
BENEFITS, BUT DOESN’T LIKE THE
PRINCIPLES.
PRACTICES WILL RARELY WORK
WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE
PRINCIPLES

20. #9 SELECTIVE SCRUM
SCRUMBUT CITY. YOU ARE PROBABLY
RUINING IT.
ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE DOING?

21. #10 DON’T LIKE BIG
CHANGE
SCRUM IS OPINIONATED ABOUT
ROLE NAMES.
SCRUM CHANGES A LOT OF
THINGS AT ONCE.

22. THEN WHAT?
LET’S LOOK AT
KANBAN FOR
EXAMPLE

23. MANAGING WORK AND TIME
VS.

24. FRAMEWORK RIGIDITY
VS.

26. Responding to new circumstances
BEGINNING OF A SPRINT ALL THE TIME
VS.

27. AGILE WORLD IS
LARGE AND
GROWING
