Now that Scrum is retreating from R&D focused industries and elsewhere, I'd like to hear from engineers. What are processes or culture things from Scrum that were good and you think will stick around?

What were the bottlenecks, beauracracies, or just plain bad things that went away quickly?

Good - Better defined work products, modular designs.

Bad: 1.) High meeting load. 2.) Group think, lack of mobility, lack of diversity, from nuclear teams. 3.) Silly jargon and titles for ordinary things.

Ugly: 1.) Scrum Masters acting as HR and management. 2.) Culture of fear: obey the Scrum Master and rate high on the happiness metric or get managed out. 3.) No accountability to customers the larger business, or colleagues.

I appreciated the structure

By structure are you referring to the cadence of events (planning, reviews, retros), definition of work (DoD, AC, DoR), or organization (PO's, SM's, Scrum Team, Meta-Scrum, EAT, etc.)?

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits. And the other offer has a good pay and good designation (Associate Consultant) rather than the one I choose. Now i feel very low due to this decision that I took. I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back
