"Scrum is a cancer," and the Internet had thoughts about it.

After 3,400 replies, I learned a few things:

First, the most common jobs among the people who told me I was wrong were "Agile Coach" and "Scrum Master." They feel very strongly in favor of Scrum, but I'm not sure why.

Second, Scrum can't fail because Scrum is whatever you want Scrum to be. There's no right way to do Scrum, so if it doesn't work for you, you aren't as bright as you thought you were.

Third, Scrum isn't agile, except when it is. But it's much better than Waterfall, except when it isn't. And it's better than nothing and everything at the same time.

Fourth, many people got triggered by my comparison of Scrum and communism. They say communism is great but recognize they have never lived in a communist society. They keep mentioning this book they read and how every person who shed blood under communism was "doing communism wrong."

Finally, by far, most people hate Scrum with passion.

No matter how you look at it, Scrum is a failure.
