> What do you see as the problem: Scrum itself, or the cargo cult of folks who do it badly?
Scrum itself. Sorry, but when you create a list of ScrumButs and indirectly deride everyone for not being able to take "Full Advantage of Scrum" so that your purists can go out and attack it at full force, yeah, that might be the problem.
The idea that different organizations might actually benefit from not adopting a methodology wholesale isn't that farfetched.
You could argue that's part of the cargo cult, I'd agree to some extent. But it becomes difficult to separate the 2 when you're literally derided for not following it to the religious T.
I guess you have had different experiences than me. We did fairly strict Scrum at my old job for a few years.
I never felt "attacked at full force" or "derided" even though we didn't follow Scrum to a T.
Never saw that "ScrumButs" thing until I Googled it just now.
I still don't feel attacked or derided. I've talked to dozens and dozens of developers over the years with various feelings on Scrum and never experienced those feelings.
But, you do, and it is 2020 so all feelings are valid. I'm sorry you've had bad experiences. People should not be jerks to you about Scrum or anything at all.
