Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, April 28, 2013 Scrum, Scrum & Scrum Hard Core Scrum, Scrum TM This is Scrum without Project Manager or Architects, maybe even without Testers. once heard Craig Larman say “If you have a project manager on a Scrum team you aren’t doing Scrum.” Only last week Christin Gorman Tweeted saying: “If you want to use managers and architects, you won't be doing scrum. I’ve written before about how this hard-core Scrum might actually conflict with Scrum ( When did Scrum start loving Project Managers ) and XP ( Two ways to fill an iteration ). And that's ok.” Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, November 5, 2012 Unspoken Cultural differences in Agile & Scrum In particular I believe the canonical version of Scrum, which I often refer to as Hard Core Scrum or Scrum™ is rooted in 1990’s American software management culture. Now lets talk about the big one: Self-Organizing teams and evil managers. Some Scrum courses and advocates make a big thing out of self-organization. In my courses I I talk about it a little, more if people want to, but I focus on giving people experience of how it works. Self-organization goes hand-in-hand with an attack on Managers, and in particular Project Managers. hated it. Allan Kelly's Blog - Wednesday, October 31, 2012 | -
| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - When did Scrum start loving project managers?
One of the things I’ve always found paradoxical about Scrum (specifically Scrum TM ) is its position on management. On the one hand, Scrum is very management friendly - see my Scrum has Three Advantages over XP post. Basically Scrum has done a very good job of marketing itself to managers. Hidden inside the tasty Scrum case is a sometimes evangelical dislike of managers, and in particular project managers. Note there is no role of project manager in Scrum. the answer was “If you have a project manager in Scrum you aren’t doing Scrum.” Allan Kelly's Blog - Wednesday, June 22, 2011 - Screening C# Candidates: Let’s Play 20 Questions!

and those who manage the process (project managers, development managers, etc.). To put it another way, if I’m talking to developers they think its managers who are the block to adopting more Agile techniques. But when I’m talking to managers they say its the developers who resist Agile. Under certain conditions of, course.) And, of course, most people feel that all problems in these areas are caused by other people.” Under certain conditions of, course.) Everyone is for it. Everyone feels they understand it.

However, once the estimate gets out there, once it becomes known the team estimates the project at 100 points of work people start ask questions when the number changes. So its wrong to talk about end dates - and also wrong to talk about projects because projects, by definition, have an end date. Then one day a colleague on another project (yes, you Ed), told me his Project Manager felt a lot happier now there was a burn-down chart in place for his work. They give Project Manager types something to stare at. Yes they are useful. Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, March 29, 2009 - 10 Things to make you Agile adoption successfull

As a result they have far more projects in the pipe than they can ever hope to deliver in the supposed timeframe. Earlier this year I met a manager who had about 10 or 12 people reporting to him, he was trying to schedule them to about 17 projects. Any attempts to do anything other than run all 17 at once were an anathema to him and his managers. There are only so many people in the corporate IT department and in an effort to do work people are assigned to work on multiple projects. projects per week each. Blame (credit?) This leads to.
