So i have some SQL skills. and I ended up some shitty business reports .

My boss will to implement something she read on internet (scrum).

I recommended her to manage her expectations. IMHO After implementing scrum, no shit is gonna change and obviously I was ignored and treated as a negative thinking being

Do you guys think this could work? Since we're a 4 people team and each one of us have different and non related activities

    So you'd have an interdiciplinary team, might be interesting

    It can work but it sounds like you won't have it easy. If you want to make it work everyone must understand the principles, rules etc. deeply. without a person that is helping you it will propably fail, (my opinion) And most importantly it might even be a bad idea in a well working team that is already efficient as is.
    Don't miss understand: I've seen it work and I love to work this way but it's a lot of work until it brings real benefits.

    What really feels strange is your relation to SQL? What has it to do with the topic?

    @alexbrooklyn yeah, I'm the only one with some sql knowledge . there's another developer and 2 leaders

    @ShotgunSurgeon Reminds me of the shu-ha-ri principle

    First you follow every rule there is and don't cut corners to understand what scrum means

    Then you start experimenting with rules at ha

    Finally, you can start transcending the rules (ri) and create somethijg entirely new

    @ShotgunSurgeon your very right. I've also worked that way too but only in a development environment. With nice performance.

    My concerns is that the outlook. it may not be successfully deployed and executed on our ends. 2 developers+2 leaders.

    I'm ok with the SQL, just wanted to add the context of who am I at the team.

    @alexbrooklyn The problem I see most of the time is that especially in old thinking environments that step one is totally skipped. most of the time rules are changed, before they can change the behavior of the people involved. This ends up in a typical scrum-but environment where no one is really happy

    Btw back on-topic:

    If I were you I'd try to take on the responsibility of being a scrumlord and make sure the entire process is initially followed by the book

    Be a bit assertive and if someone wants to cut corners call them out on it or confront them about it. Only then you can figure out if this way of working is best for you
