Scrum master, you were supposed to protect the team from distractions, not add to the problem!

@Arendvdvenk

They always seem to hit sore spots that I thought were unique to my team, but agile just seems to be the problem itself

@SnazzieTV

Cleaners are more useful to the company than scrum masters.

@murheyy

Our scrum master plays games in his phone all the time but he keeps asking if the tickets are done. Keeps asking, keeps asking. Although the whole day we are in the same meeting, he asks tomorrow if the ticket is done :D

@DauntingGecko

Agile = Treadmill. Expected to constantly deliver at pace ill thought through ideas and expected to burn through…sorry, deliver stuff that is deemed never ending. People wonder why their engineers are very unhappy. You can throw out “but thats not agile!” all you want. The fact remains almost everywhere adopting this approach has severe morale and burn out problems.

Jesus, that was so related, i even got mad

I've been on both sides of this argument. She does raise some important points. Obviously overall her demands are a burden but there are times when a simple update would go a long way.

@KungFuHamster-t5f

We need to start scheduling daily team status meetings to figure why we're behind.

@developertimeline

I’ve seen a lot of discussions on this topic, so I’ll share my thoughts as well. Personally, I don’t think project managers or scrum masters should lead development teams or act like they “own” engineering. In most cases, an engineering manager or tech lead is more than enough to guide the team.

I would say product managers(good ones) also can support the team helping with PRDs and with cross-team communications when needed. But again no control over dev team or push for updates and etc. Project manager and Product manager are different things.

When a team is autonomous and well-trained, they know when to communicate, when to act, and how to deliver without any chaos. It’s actually pretty simple.

But corporates love to throw in layers of middle management and process for the sake of appearances and end up killing the very productivity they’re trying to scale.  This mindset needs to change.

The phrase " I wanted to align with you on X" makes me puke, being an intern in software development

@RareScrap

Actually, she is got the point

@JefeSahin

Great videos, keep up the good and honest work!

@ParthaSarathylink

every tool and process and methodologies just end up eating people time who's actually doing work. To make few people accountable with some proof we ended up with these ridiculous state of project management

@kevinchristi

lol , Wish i could share these videos to my office chat, but afraid they might get offended

@Boomkop3

welp, too often is agile just an exuse to be lazy

@psychic8872

So velocity is the average of points completed from multiple sprints. If the ticket is closed she should be happy. Add the points to the sprint total.
