CapaSystems | 3 Reasons Why Your Scrum Is Failing

▤ Summary

Once our sprint is over every 14 days, it is our clear objective to always have our work ready to be demonstrated to the steering group — so that the rest of the organisation can keep up. By putting new ideas in quarantine for shorter or longer periods of time before considering them for your priority backlog, you are given the opportunity to see them somewhat at a distance. If the sales team is completely up to date on the latest features of your solution, you raise your competitiveness, because you give your sellers a better product to go to market with. For example, it can be of the utmost importance that the finance department can influence the timing of major EPR upgrades so that you as an IT manager do not come to release extensive system updates just three days before the deadline for the VAT accounts. You are well on the way to valuable Scrum development if you care to take a proactive approach to communications, a healthy scepticism of “brilliant” ideas and cynical realism about what is possible and what is necessary — and what not — to launch a value-adding product.
