Just posted on Scrummaster.com.au.
Some interesting results:
Question: “Who is the main driver for quality in your organisation?” Answer: ~50% said “the team.”
It seems in general as though even an organisation’s [ahem] “Test Manager” isn’t paid enough to care…
Question: “Is your Product Owner a Business Analyst” Answer: ~80% said ‘No or No Product Owner.”
Maybe no one is paid to care…?
Call me an impetuous Sun of a Gun if you must, but these results don’t reflect well on IT management, IMHO.
Still, the glass is actually half-full: even while behemoths like Prince2 are growing in popularity (reflecting the spirit of “hey it’s not working, let’s throw more X at it”?), at least there exist organisations trying to do Scrum.
