My biggest beef with Scrum: The sprint time box creates an arbitrary deadline
My biggest beef with Scrum: The sprint time box creates an arbitrary deadline.
Arbitrary deadlines lead to rushing.
Rushing leads to cutting corners.
Cutting corners leads to bugs and tech debt.
Bugs and tech debt reduce trust.
Reduced trust leads to more command and control, approval boards, and fewer releases.
Fewer releases lead to higher risk and more rushing to avoid missing infrequent releases, which further erodes trust.
It's a downward spiral.
