"what’s actually important with velocity is whether a team’s velocity increases or decreases" Velocity is useful as a planning tool. In this capacity, an ever-changing velocity (even an ever-increasing one) isn't nearly as useful as one that is more-or-less constant. Additionally, a velocity that is consistently small, say 2, is an indication that the team may want to rexamine their sizing scale. This is simply because a scale that is effectively 0 -2 doesn't have much expressiveness. Cheers, Chris Sims Agile Learning Labs I respectfully disagree.

I agree that maligning a legitimate step forward in the field of software development is truly evidence of an individual’s “mind inertia,” as you call it. And I would also agree with you that Scrum is not a solution for certain types of development. For instance, Scrum is not recommended for simple, repeatable projects that do not include unknowns or variables. But the best way to tell if a project would be better managed with Scrum is to simply consider if existing processes are working. If they are, then why would you switch up the formula? Hi Michael,

The notion of 'fad/not fad' is rather reflection of people's mind inertia. The same as OOP is essential part of (almost, I suppose) any project, scrum will be the leading methodology for those types of project where it is the most efficient. However, I see there are some projects where Scrum may be not the best idea, but I don't about such example so far. Completely agree!
