If we had a dollar for every piece of “authoritative Agile advice” out there, let's just say that we'd have a lot of money.
Sharing the successes, failures, and lessons learned is so valuable to all of us on an Agile journey. But it's important to keep your filter up for not only false information, but also true information that doesn't fit your situation.
In this episode, Host Phil Ledgerwood dissects some “authoritative” facts and figures about so-called “full Scrum” vs. “lightweight Scrum” to demonstrate how easy it can be to fall into the trap of misleading Agile guidance.
The lesson here? Don’t blindly accept what anyone says, no matter the source (even this podcast!). Always investigate, weigh it carefully, and experiment for yourself.
