There is an interesting discussion going on in the Scrum discussion group on XING: The question is why organizations call projects Scrum projects although they seem to have no intention to use Scrum at all. Some people in the discussion suspect this a trend to make projects sound modern and appealing. I absolutely agree and think this is clear evidence of growing Scrum ignorance.

“Scrum does not work and I won’t even give it a try!”

This collection of all the ignorant statements I have come across since I have been using Scrum should help you reply to similar statements in case you will ever be confronted with them:

“Scrum does not work because it is not fault-tolerant”
“Sprint reviews are a waste of time! Let’s skip them!”
“Daily Scrums are micro-management! Let’s not do this!”
“Scrum is waterfall because you are working on stories consecutively!”
