One common belief is that Scrum was designed to help you solve problems as you develop products and/or services.

In fact, the primary benefit of Scrum is the opposite. If executed the way it is intended, Scrum’s superpower is its ability to reveal your problems, rapidly.

Why do so many companies cherry-pick parts of Scrum to execute, while discarding other parts?

Because by human nature, we don’t like having our shortcomings thrown in our faces.

In this webinar, Eric Tucker (LinkedIn profile) CST, CSP-SM, CSP-SO, A-CSM, CSM, CSPO, Trainer & Consultant will look at the Scrum framework and provide common-sense reasons why Scrum should be practiced in its entirety — or not at all.

The short-and long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term discomfort.
