A Brief Overview of the Scrum Framework

[AlexBallarin]

It is a very easy guide to grasp the basics of Scrum!

Hi Team. As per the latest Scrum Guide..Scrum Master is not a one who ensures that Scrum is understood and enacted.. but the Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum.

Told me basically nothing. Talks half the video about why scrum is needed without really saying why. The second part is just saying "sprint" 300 times without ever having defined the term. Interspersed are some tech/trend words like "iteratively" and "empirically".
End up with eye catching slogans like "better results!" "better values!" and the video is done.
At least the visual give sóme insight in the proces/framework in that it probably involves sticky notes or something or other on a progress board.
If I wasn't already familiar with those, I would have had no clue what the video was trying to explain.

Is this Kristen DiMercurio? We were watching this in a business management lecture, and I practically fell out of my seat!

From the website:
"Scrum is simple. It is the opposite of a big collection of interwoven mandatory components. Scrum is not a methodology. Scrum implements the scientific method of empiricism. Scrum replaces a programmed algorithmic approach with a heuristic one, with respect for people and self-organization to deal with unpredictability and solving complex problems. ... "

Scrum might be simple, but this explanation ísn't.
Firstly, you'd have to visualise whatever "a big collection of interwoven mandatory components" means, then imagine the exact ópposite. The second sentence only says what scrum ísn't. As does the fourth.
"respect for people" is mostly PR bullshit, let's be honest with eachother. We're left with: "Scrum is empherical and deals with complex situations"

If the "Hóme of scrum" isn't able to make its concept clear, something isn't going quite right, in my opinion.

Scrum is very complicated. I read the guide 3 times & attended 2 sessions, however, still I didn't understand anything.

Around 1:30 the video starts repeatedly using the term "the increment" which seems like something important but its meaning is never actually defined...

Nice artistic decision giving the Scrum Master a Hitler haircut and the stakeholders a Monopoly Man Hat. Was great laugh, but learned nothing about Scrum though.

Hi! in what program is this presentation made? ;)

Hello, software engineering people! :D

[grhayes]

Scrum is responsible for some of the worst developed software in ages. It belongs no where in or around software development. You can see that in the very first stupid shit line of this video discounting efficiency. CPU cores are going to get tremendously faster. Even if we add more cores there is a limited gain in performance and the code has to be written to make use of the multiple cores. Look up Amdahl's law. You will learn something. That means efficiency is going to be number one going forward. When you are going to be running more and more on a system you are going to need that efficiency to make the best use of that hardware. SCRUM all it has done is attract a bunch of individuals that don't know or properly understand programming into the industry with a bunch of bullshit certificates of knowing nothing. SCRUM has been an absolute plague to the programming industry I say that with 35 years experience at every level. If someone walks into my business with a scrum cert and I find out about it I will literally throw them out the door.

Why do we need SCRUM after all? Many big and successfull projects including software development projects were done in the past without using SCRUM, SCRUM masters or any other new and exotic methods. SCRUM seems to be another buzz word meant to create jobs for people especially females that cannot write a simple program but feel entitled to give us, hardworking programmers, orders on how to do our job and how to behave.
SCRUM is nothing else but a supervision and control tool meant to tell programmers that they need to be bossed around by a person who often is unqualified to lead a software development team. This makes SCRUM look alot like politics where people are given ministerial positions without having any background or experience in the particular area whatsoever.
