What But?
Scrum-buts are reasons why teams can’t take full advantage of Scrum to solve their problems and realize the full benefits of product development using Scrum.
Scrum has exposed a dysfunction that prevents the team from being agile, but is too hard to fix.
Syntax: (Scrum-but) (Reason) (Workaround)
“(We use Scrum, but) (meeting everyday is too much overhead) (so we only meet once a week).”
“(We use Scrum, but) (we can’t build a feature in two weeks) (so our sprints are 4 weeks long).”
