Are You Really Doing Scrum? A Practical Scrum Litmus Test

Scrum has a bad reputation in some organizations. In many cases, this is because teams did something they called Scrum, it didn't work, and Scrum took the blame. To counter this, when working with organizations, we like to define a small set of rules a team must follow if they want to say they're doing Scrum. Enforcing this policy helps prevent Scrum from being blamed for Scrum-like failures.

The Done List

For decades, the to-do list has been a catalog of debt, a deceptively thin list of items to do, with icebergs of work hidden beneath the surface. AI transforms tasks to work that has already been done. Vibe Kanban, Gastown, & Conductor are the first instantiations of this for software developers. They have jargon-laden descriptions like "multi-agent orchestrator" or "visualizer," but they are, at heart, simple & beautiful Kanban boards of done & dusted work.
