Moving to Scrum is a transformation, not a simple change of software. It requires courage and persistence.
1Resistance to Change
Humans like predictability. Moving to a system where we 'embrace change' can be scary for stakeholders. The Scrum Master must lead the way by demonstrating the reduced risk that iterative delivery provides.
2Empowering the Team
Scrum fails when teams aren't allowed to make decisions. If a manager still dictates which tasks go to which developer, you aren't doing Scrum—you're doing Waterfall with faster meetings.
3Continuous Growth
A 'Mature' Scrum team isn't one that never makes mistakes. It's a team that uses the Retrospective to identify those mistakes and has the discipline to fix them in the next Sprint.
