It turns out Scrum doesn’t “work”, after all, that’s why people bastardize the Scrum framework, right? Since everyone likes to use Scrum, and then optimize it into something it wasn’t meant to be, a new delivery methodology is needed for the modern Agile world.

WARNING

This is a satirical piece, written to show the most horrific anti-Agile practices which can be implemented if you misinterpret the Agile Manifesto and the Scrum Guide. If you are following any of the practices detailed in this article, please feel free to reach out.

Part 1 — Introduction, definition, and values
Part 2 — Roles and Team setup
Part 3 — Quality on larger projects, meetings, and artifacts

Improving quality on larger projects

If the software being built in the project is very big, it may become impossible for the Testers inside the Novum team to regression test all of the existing features, especially if automated testing is lacking or nonexistent. If the Testers are getting to a point where they are no longer able to execute all of their test scripts within the Sprint, then an additional regression team should be considered.
