Avoiding Scrum as a panacea


I don't know what part of the message people missed when they adopt the mind-set that, "Let's just do Scrum; it'll fix all of our problems." When people believe that Scrum is a panacea, they don't see the need to inspect and adapt. They become disgruntled over day-to-day things. One might overhear, "This Scrum process doesn't tell us anything! It's too gray. Not specific enough!" It's because the people missed the most important concepts: individuals and interactions over process and tools; courage and openness over fear and secrecy. But what happens in these Scrum-as-Utopia situations? Scrum gets the blame, because it is not an all-encompassing solution. Remember and help others remember that Scrum is a framework that exposes exactly what the organization needs to fix in order to be better at product delivery.
