How to recognize a ‘scrumbut’

•  Implement scrum with all kind of tweaks –  Fixed price per point –  Quality gates –  Planning all sprints ahead

•  “Our sprints are 3 months” •  A ‘die-‐hard’ project manager playing scrum master •  Manage scrum as a waterfall

–  Product backlog is fixed –  Velocity as a goal

Play the game by the book!
