Why Scrum? Software development teams often face the following pain points (and ==> Scrum’s suggested solutions):

  • Products are useless, working like dogs, yet without a sense of achievement.
    ==> Potentially Shippable Increments
  • Plans don’t keep up with change. Requirements change too fast, making it impossible to focus on one thing.
    ==> Iterative and short cycles
  • Business and development teams are always at odds, users are always complaining.
    ==> Open and Communication
  • Time is tight, work is heavy, everything is a priority, always firefighting, incomplete tasks, and anxiety.
    ==> Customer value-driven and product prioritization
  • All pressure and risks are concentrated in the final phase—they become busier and more chaotic over time.
    ==> WIP (Work in Progress) and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) concepts
  • Good habits and processes don’t stick—they just fade away.
    ==> Clear roles, events, artifacts, and rules to reinforce team best practices (i.e., Scrum framework and values, which are exactly what 3355 requires)
  • Without help, the team keeps losing, morale drops, work-life balance is off—burnout and resignations follow.
    ==> Transparent product backlog estimation, Scrum board, team velocity, and burn-down charts, ensuring fair progress and balanced workload.
