I wonder if this team could have choosen any framework and it would have worked, they just happened to use scrum. With the founder mode discussions recently there was this saying akin to "a successful process is a result of talented people" and not the other way around. It stuck in my head and I feel this is an instance of that. Although you definitely can force a process on a talented team and have their productivity diminish.
Agree. It's just that well understood scrum is a great process for delivering certainty and stability, as proven by lots of teams (provided they did scrum correctly).Just saves energy to thoroughly vet the process before tossing it.
But first principle, this is a physics issue: Whatever way a team comes up with to maximize the amount of work not done to deliver the same or better outcomes, I'm all for it.
