The biggest problem with scrum and other agile methodologies that I find is that it does not force accountability at the highest levels of leadership and management at a company. Scrum seems to assume that the process is entirely a matter of what happens at the level of the scrum team, and this often gets treated like a process you can just import to your devs. Everyone in the company, from CEO on down, needs to understand how to work effectively in agile/scrum mindsets in order for any scrum team to be successful. But scrum does not involve leadership in its cycle of iteration or accountability at all and this is its Achilles heel (and I don't mean, "invite the CEO to your retro").
I find the entirety of this presentation intellectually insulting: 1) Scrum isn't working/scaling? "it's not a problem with Scrum... just "retrain management from the CEO on down" (just Hire Jeff and he'll git 'er done)... 2) Ascribing successes in Leadership as "Well run, Innovative, Energetic and Adaptive) to "Apple, Google, Spotify" and making the assumption these companies universally use use the scrumm methodology is a farse. 3) Ascribing failure to the methodology only applies when the methodology is not Scrumm (i.e. "Kanban" are burned at the stake for being "stuck in the deployment phase) 4) "outliers" that do not comply with the data (obviously) must be doing things the "old waterfall way) In general the whole confusing "Correlation/ causation" and 400% productivity increase is laughable (I know a bold-faced lie when I see one) I question the premise, the data collection, and the inference that scrumm = productivity more like swarm stupidity: th-cam.com/video/i-hsD2gnuRU/w-d-xo.htmlm45s "If you have large feet you earn more"
This presentation is meaningless. Scrum/agile has become a new religion - that is to say: It creates its own set of rules and measurements instead of focusing in getting things done. The scrum/agile teams are more focused on earning points, have something to demo (regardless) do a spring planning, retrospective - it is an insult to thinking peoples intellect.
I like this presentation as it shows the inevitable future way. We have to attend to our goals in this thinking.

from my experience i know exactly what you mean. and this is so true in most cases even Jeff talked about this in the video.

productive increase 400%
marketing word?
