This is the most fucked up video I have ever seen. Seriously. This is a horror movie, in slow motion, with a guy speaking in a weird Brit accent ... and while doing something called 'SCRUM'?
Scrum is facilitated by a ScrumMaster, whose primary job is to remove impediments to the ability of the team to deliver the sprint goal. The ScrumMaster is not the leader of the team (as they are self-organising) but acts as a productivity buffer between the team and any destabilising influences.
Scrum enables the creation of self-organising teams by encouraging verbal communication across all team members and across all disciplines that are involved in the project.
A key principle of Scrum is its recognition that fundamentally empirical challenges cannot be addressed successfully in a traditional "process control" manner. As such, Scrum adopts an empirical approach – accepting that the problem cannot be fully understood or defined, focusing instead on maximizing the team's ability to respond in an agile manner to emerging challenges.
Notably missing from Scrum is the "cookbook" approach to project management exemplified in the Project Management Body of Knowledge or Prince2 – both of which have as their goal quality through application of a series of prescribed processes.
What the fucking hell!
This is software development hell.
This is fucking project management turned into a tool of psychological torture.
Oh my god ... and these fuckers are 'certified scrum trainers'?
And there's a woman flippantly bringing sexy back?
Oh.
Hell.
No.
