“If Scrum feels too heavy or as if it has too much overhead, it likely is being done incorrectly”
It’s easy to end up in a situation where Scrum becomes a burden, where a daily scrum lasts much longer than the expected fifteen minutes, where work items aren’t properly updated, even for a team that’s familiar with Scrum (like the one I’ve been for the last year).
The trick is not to loosen the rules and the team’s habits, every time we did that things went wrong: daily scrums that became a burden and useless or a sprint burndown that simply did not reflect reality, just to name a few.
