Is Scrum Dying? Or Are We Just Doing It Wrong?

Scrum used to be king. Now people don’t even want it on their CV.

Remember when being a Product Owner was cool? When Scrum Masters were change agents, not glorified note-takers?

When saying “we use Scrum” signalled progressive, Agile thinking?

Fast forward to now, and you’ll find Product Owners ashamed of the title, Scrum Masters sidelined, and developers stuck in factory-mode delivery.

Teams are jumping ship to SAFe, Kanban, or “whatever Spotify did,” chasing results Scrum couldn’t deliver.
