How Lean is Your Scrum
summary
Scrum teams forced remote measure surprising waste and fix it with concrete Lean steps: Scrum claims ~80% market share while Lean shows ~1% adoption and ~10% success, sprint planning can hit 8 hours, backlogs of 16 items deliver only 8 items a year so completion stretches ~2 years. Teams run Little's Law on the backlog, enforce WIP limits, add automation and CI/CD, pull work from the right, async knowledge sharing and pair programming, and report faster flow, fewer meetings and improved team happiness.
