How will Scrum affect my organisation?
Scrum will totally change your organisation. Organisations are organised around the processes they use. The traditional method is based around people telling other people what to do – this is a command and control structure and about the belief that the future is predictable. Scrum is based around the idea that people can manage themselves and that the future is unpredictable and the best we can do is to make the most intelligent adaptations to it that are possible to deliver something of value. Shifting the way an organisation works based on these different assumptions is massive and requires a significant change process. This is the difficulty of implementing Scrum.
