"We don't use a methodology here"

"we just use what works"

Sound familiar?

How do you know what works?

How do you really measure that it's working?

I think back to when I was a little boy. My younger brother and I would get a board game out of the closet and decide to play. I would say "you remember how to play this?" and he would say "Of course i do!". We would start playing and i would notice him breaking a rule and say "Hey hey, you can't do that!".

So now Imagine going into an organization and saying "You all understand the scrum rules, right?"

"Yes, of course we do, we've been doing scrum for a while now"

-- think about that. I'd like to hear your comments
