Agenda

IN YOUR ZONE 3

Do not look any further. Scrum is the solution to all

your problems. The ultimate silver bullet…

Scrum is a silver bullet

IN YOUR ZONE 4

Scrum is so easy you need no experience or

training. Anyone can do it!

You need no training…

IN YOUR ZONE

Who cares about management support

5

Don't care about management support. What do they know after all?

IN YOUR ZONE

Hierarchy

6

Make sure your tech, team, dev and other lead types are very good at making orders. Make sure all of the others are good at following them …

IN YOUR ZONE 7

Micromanagement

Micromanage everything! Those juniors are going to screw everything up if you don't control every aspect of their work. And that new guy, who the hell knows what he's up to?!

IN YOUR ZONE 8

Team size does not matter…

Try to get as much people in your team as you can! The more we are, the chances someone will know how to solve all out problems is much bigger.

IN YOUR ZONE 9

Feel free to blindly follow…

Don’t ask why, just do it. Blind obedience…

IN YOUR ZONE 10

….or do things your way!

Scrum is about agility! Feel free to change everything, meetings, ceremonies, roles. Be the master of your own destiny!

IN YOUR ZONE 11

Estimations are relative…

Tell the client what he wants to hear. If you cant really make it, you can always add some overtime hours.

By the way, story points? What’s that..?!

IN YOUR ZONE 12

Keep everyone in the dark…

Why would you need to know where we're really heading? A couple of steps ahead is quite enough of info. The client considers this project a top secret anyway!

IN YOUR ZONE 13

Who invented time-boxing?! I mean really..

Time boxing is for people who haven't heard that The devil is in the detail! Don’t let a single meeting end until all the details have been defined!

…or somebody die!

IN YOUR ZONE 14

Commitment it’s just a noun…

We can only promise the client that he will get... somewhere. We can't promise anything. Its agile. Things are effervescent , constantly changing, fluctuating!

IN YOUR ZONE 15

Improvement is for amateurs!

Hulk does not improve…

… Hulk smash!

IN YOUR ZONE 16

Conclusion

…let’s set up a new meeting
