This was eight minutes of truth. It will be a bitter pill for many to swallow.

A message everyone should hear.

This is my top reason: The most damning point to make against scrum(or most agile methods), is that, despite the fact that software engineering is an *applied science* , and we are all therefore supposed to use scientific principals when doing our job, despite this, **there isn't a SHRED of empirical evidence to support so much as a single claim made by scrum(or any agile) proponents** . This relegates scrum to the SAME category as aliens, bigfoot, Q conspiracy, flat earth, etc. That is, a category, for claims that are made, that are devoid of **empirical** evidence to support them. Belief in claims devoid of evidence, is by definition, **irrational** , and is borderline delusional. Being the opposite of rational, it is therefore the opposite of science, and therefore, NOT applied science. The most common excuse you get is, "agile is beyond the abilities of science to study" . Which is of course COMPLETE nonsense. The ONLY things that cannot be scientifically studied, are phenomenon that **do not manifest into reality** . They like to ignore that case studies, are considered the poorest form of evidence in science. They also like to ignore, that the handful of studies done into the matter, **show no advantage** to agile techniques. Fun fact, other things that are "beyond science" are aliens, astral projection, and bigfoot ROTFL. It is also important to note, that agile consulting, is a **multi-billion dollar industry, and it is ONLY growing** . So billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of people stand to lose a lot if this little factoid about lacking evidence, is paid any attention. Quite the opponent. **One would think, that the biggest selling point to agile, to a bunch of scientifically minded engineers, would be empirical evidence of the claims.* "Here is undeniable proof it works" . "Sold" . Engineers use what works. **However, have you noticed, despite having billions, that industry refuses to provided any proof of the claims, by supporting the studies?? Now why do you think that is hmmmmm ROTFL????** My favorite argument "against" me, is "Well, that is just BAD agile" --> ROTFL ROTFL My favorite response: "For a system that is claimed to be superior, it is certainly inferior to ALL other methods, with respect to its ability to get it right. That is the opposite of superior, especially since none of your other claims about agile are supported by evidence."

I believe that (Scrum) Master/Agile coach is mainly accountable to help the team adapt to its specific context and the changes that occur around.

How do you ensure psychological safety if someone is being shamed for being blocked or impeded?

Hey Coach can you do a video of what a scrum master is supposed to do if the team does not have a product owner

Good video coach

Do you do 1-to-1 coaching? Omg I need help with working with my PO, he is a complete nightmare.

You need to meet my PO. He doesn't let us talk and everything needs to go through him. I am struggling so much. I cannot be a true scrum master when this PO asks me to be a helicopter mom to the devs. Also there is a power imbalance, our PO is a director. The rest of us are not. I struggle a lot in this team, as their Scrum Master, when my voice isn't heard when I give agile advice. It has been over a year i ask that we stop turning our daily standup into status updates but oue PO likes that. That is not right.

why is taking the video training required for CSM, it seems to me to be a scam and a pay to get something.

If you talk a bit less dramatically it's easier to follow

I have issue as SM- dev the team insists that I, as SM, am the leader of the Daily, but on the other hand, they mentioned that when I was gone, they had the best Daily. I see it as a lack of scrum basics and an unwillingness to take responsibility

scrum mAAAster.....love your videos

you deserve more subs. i got a scrum master position because of your videos.

Coach what if you have 10+ developers? It’s nearly impossible to keep the meeting to 15mins

What topic do you want me to cover next?

What I hear is that Scrum is so convoluted that hardly can get it to work correctly. Its a little like a séance; if it doesn't work there must are unbelievers present.

Such an attractive voice! Thank you for the valuable content!

I love this strategy and do use it kind of naturally.. my problen and i think many others like me, is that having ADHD, my biggest issue is TIME BLINDNESS.. i KNOW all the things i need to do and can lay them out un front of me and have a plan, what i haven't been avle to do is PROPERLY ESTIMATE the AMOUNT of time needed for ME/others to do a certain task.. and not getting distracted when expected to go us on one task for long periods like neurotypicals.. and gow to handle when unexpected things come up and throw off your sprint?

That is extremely useful. Friend of mine has complicated situation right now. They have new SM, he has set up “daily” 2 times a week for 1h, he is telling developers what do, he allows himself to say during team meetings: “you can go away, we do not need you anymore today” in not pleasant way, he not coming on Friday 30 min coffee-call which is a tradition in the team for 3 years, he is telling PO “you have added not well described user stories to the Backlog (not next sprint, just basic backlog), that means you do not know what to do”. PO explained that it will be done with the team on nearest refinement. SM is not happy about this and gives negative feedback about PO expertise. And finally he is yells at team members. Awful.

I was offered a promotion in the company I work for. I’d go from being a Project Manager to being a Product Owner. Based on this video, all I can say is POs never eat, never have breakfast nor lunch. They are superhumans. I guess it’s a no-no for me 😂 JK

I want to hear from you. What topic do you want me to cover next?

Thank you so much! You are such wealth of knowledge and you give such a realistic view of what a scrum master should be

You're speaking plain and simple truth, and I suspect it's bursting the bubble of a lot of Agile consulting organizations. I believe wholeheartedly in Agile, and I despise the long-standing practice of "Buy My Flavor\Brand Of Process" offered up by these companies over the last 30+ years. The latter are a triumph of marketing over substance. What we need more of is the simple truth. Keep up the great work!

Good video, thanks

Looking for a hot take...

How are you recommending a SM (Team Coach) to act as an Agile Coach when s/he is one of multiple SMs in an Agile Release Train serving shared stakeholders. You didn't mention the Release Train Engineer (RTE) ... the SM of SMs. Where do you see this role in regard to the SM and AC.

Hi Gary, got so much from this single video like you wouldnt belive. I will be watching all the videos of yours and taking notes. Thank you.

I'm not an English speaker either, and it happens that accountable and responsible are both translated, in Italian, as "responsabile", same word, so I really can't get the difference.
