Scrum is an agile framework that, if applied properly, can boost the efficiency of teamwork. It is known to be versatile enough, so it could be applied in basically any sort of productive teamwork, even beyond IT (e.g. bakeries, government organizations, etc.)

However, I’ve never ever seen it being used anywhere else other than in software development, therefore I’ve always been curious if Scrum is actually being used outside of IT somewhere.

    Yeah management types hear “daily meetings” and don’t realize that scrum meetings are meant to be less than 5 minutes.

    “What did you do yesterday? What are you doing today? Do you have any blockers?” Done.

      I was part of a project that was run on a 5 minute standup and it was wonderful. Everything after that has been bad to awful.

      If folks are discussing implementation details during the meeting, it’s awful.

      We used to have the meeting first thing in the morning.

      “What are you doing today?”

      “No clue, you decided to have a meeting instead of letting me check my email and Jira responses.”

      “What are your blockers?”

      “No clue, you decided to have a meeting instead of letting me check my email and Jira responses.”
