Horrors from Scrum Teams

1. The scrum master force us to stand up during the daily scrum meeting

2. Our scrum master hides behind another developer during the daily standup

3. I am not sure but when I joined my department team meeting to answer questions from the team during stand up the scrum master keeps referring to me as the “chicken”

4. I am so happy I don’t get to talk to anyone until the next daily standup

5. My team is very high performing, we complete sprint review in 10 min every time

6. The burndown chart is a way to monitor the team 

7. Only show the things that are going well and make management happy with you and the team

8. At the end of every sprint, my team will then work on the sprint goal

9. The scrum master is always yelling at us for carrying stories or tasks into the next sprint

10. My stakeholders don’t like coming to the sprint reviews

11. My product owner doesn’t like writing user story and he and my manager want the scrum master to write all the user stories for our sprint

12. My scrum master is always blaming the client and the product owners for all the failures of not delivering 

13. Why is my scrum master always acting as my manager

14. My scrum master will not let anyone talk during backlog grooming, she yells at the team and is the only one sizing user stories

15. Because we have a scrum master in the company is that why we are called a scrum team? 

16. Do we really need a scrum master on our team?

Do you understand the WHY of what you or your team is doing?
