WHY I DON'T USE SCRUM TO MANAGE MY REMOTE TEAMS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Scrum is often used as a process to manage teams, especially remote teams. However, it can add 8 hours of meetings per sprint, which is equal to 2 full days of productivity per month. Many projects can’t be easily forced into a 2-week sprint process. Using a collaborative document for each project that addresses the key questions is more efficient. Meetings can be held to address denser tradeoff decisions as long interactions over async communication can create long lead times.
