I am a ScrumBut

Many organizations that are going agile are experiencing difficulties in applying the whole concept. Most of them yield and make some kind of adaption to better suit their current situation. Ken Schwaber, the father of Scrum, thinks this is just a way to avoid dealing with the true problems in the organization. He calls them “ScrumButs”.
In my organization we only fulfill two thirds of the Scrum Checklist, so I guess that makes us ScrumButs. I’m not going to feel bad about it though; Change takes time and we’re pretty happy we’ve gotten as far as we have. But Ken’s right, we really should do something about our most difficult problems and go the full ten yards. Maybe later. 🙂
Cheers!
