Obviously there are companies where this exists, but there are also others (just yesterday, I saw a recruitment ad where a scrum master was quoted with "Good scrum masters can be recognized by their invisibility"). In my personal network, there is about a 50/50 split between real and pretend scrum. Given such substantial variance across companies, I think we should be wary to generalize our personal experiences to the entire IT industry, and look beyond the label at the actual process in use. | |

The management component, who is KPI driven, creates an unnecessary and unavoidable stress. I feel compelled to plan ahead for the scrum meeting in order to frame things I didn't get done positively to "keep face" especially if they are difficult/poorly pointed. I agree with the premise if you follow the scrum guide verbatim what the OP is describing isn't possible. However in practice, this is rarely the case. | |

Taking the easy tasks is what the junior developers with no confidence should be doing. Everything in your answer supports that. | |
