Apr 9, 2017 at 20:04 comment added BerndGit Independent of SCRUM (where i dont have experience), I would try to give them challanging clearly defined work packages, which they can complete on their own w/o too much interaction from others needed. E.G. "Your are responisible for module XYZ., Propose an achitecture. We'll review it together. Then implement and document it.",

Apr 6, 2017 at 2:41 comment added Andreea I agree that Scrum doesn't fit all projects and all people. That's why, if I can't work with Scrum and creates only tension instead of a collaborative work environment I move on to using parts of Scrum with other frameworks. It's not pure Scrum, indeed but again, Agile is about people over processes. As long as I address the concerns that Scrum tools are used for, it works out fine. If not, iterate.
Apr 6, 2017 at 2:37 comment added user27307 Multiple poor experiences @AlanLarimerPSM and always imposed from above and rigidly followed and completely ignore project management techniques. I'm saying you can run a project using SCRUM and have it succeed, exactly by limiting scope and allowing for rapid change. But you can't expect SCRUM to work for all projects and you can't use SCRUM sprints to run a marathon. So I will agree it isn't real SCRUM. Andreea that sounds like you're taking the good team-building collaborative approach!

Apr 5, 2017 at 23:46 comment added Alan Larimer Scrum is a framework, a container for other techniques, methodologies, and practices. Rudolf: There is a lot of opportunity for exploration and creativeness, and the Development Team is empowered to determine their forecast. It sounds as if a poor experience with false Scrum has you misinformed. Andreea: Directly answering the three questions is a common misconception resulting in a rigid implementation, but that technique is certainly not required and is often discouraged. One can work with an agile mindset to create their own processes, but do not call it Scrum if it violates the framework.
Apr 5, 2017 at 21:49 comment added Andreea @RudolfOlah do you mind detailing how Scrum is restrictive? I am asking because the way I see and use Scrum is: it's a tool, I can use it in a very rigid way (e.g. Huddled must answer the 3 questions), or just adapt it. I'll continue with the huddle example: the team said it's useless, so we did a simple exercise to decide what should be discussed in the huddle to make it useful. The idea was: it's your team, it's a tool, the objective is to look into progress towards reaching our goal. How do you want to do it? How often do you want it? And same thinking worked with other tools.

Apr 5, 2017 at 18:21 comment added user27307 to be fair, SCRUM is a way of completely controlling the work that is going to get done and usually that means not allowing any exploration or creative thought on the part of the team members which is fine for emergencies or short-term projects but results in limited career growth.
