"I’ve been employed in tech for years, but I’ve almost never worked"


"I’ve been employed in tech for years, but I’ve almost never worked".

This post mentions a surprising cause: Scrum.

Scrum encourages sizing tasks as a team. Teams bloat estimates to avoid “blowing” the sprint. So, estimates are heavily padded.

Result? People pretend they’re working.

The solution:
Stop focusing on “doing scrum”.
Instead, focus on serving customers.
