Really worth reading if you are experiencing Agile Scrum development.

I do think AGILE and SCRUM has its place.  It is just that I believe this place is running projects under 5 people and delivery durations of less than 6 months. At that level, employing the right people with the right skills and motivation frequently guarantees that MAGIC will occur. The new media industry proves this everyday, irrespective of approach /method used. Good people always have the potential to overcome deficiencies with methods /approaches and poor management. I have seen it time and time again.

This is what I would call 

anti patterns for Scrum

I think you can learn a lot more from these anti scrum pattern failures than from success stories. The path to success is narrower than you may think!, and you can be on a parallel road leading to a failure. Take also time to read all the comments, some are really interesting.

What is the most interesting is this article was written in 2006!

Providing and getting feedback early, fast and regularly is one of the testers main task.

Creating software with the agile development process delivers finished products quickly in fast changing and uncertain project environments. While agile development describes several iterative and incremental software development methods, they all involve continuous planning, continuous testing and continuous integration.

All agile development methods focus on helping teams to collaborate and make decisions quickly and effectively. The most popular agile methodologies is now Scrum that is resumed in the poster below.

Thanks to Agile software development, you will be able to accelerates the delivery of initial business value. Through continuous planning and feedback, agile development ensures that value continues to be maximized throughout the development process.

Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework for project management and agile software development.
Although Scrum was intended for management of software development projects, it can be used to run software maintenance teams, or as a general project/program management approach.
