      Blame management for that. I implemented Scrum in a project that I took over without any changes to the framework and it is great. We are able to keep a healthy work life balance, no overtime, good relationship between the product and the engineering team, and the most important thing is on time feature delivery.

        Interesting you prioritized pointing out on time delivery as opposed to maximum value.

        Hits a sore spot, I’ve delivered a lot of useless stuff on time with agile teams. We could have been useless even faster without the meetings.

          Hey, the one responsible to maximize the value is the Product Owner, not the devs. We’re only responsible in taking the PBIs in the backlog that’s ordered based on value and delivering it. Whether it is really valuable or not is the responsibility of the Product Owner.

          Didn’t realize that was the standard for a hot take. There’s lots of universally accepted bs whose unmasking would only draw gasps at a meeting with management. And even then, the surprise would mainly be at the balls of the person saying it, not at some reality being shattered.
