Oy. Why add politics to this. Maybe just stay on topic.



Scrum is an ideology, and is a method of managing people to boot. It is politics.


Politics is just deciding what to do with shared resources, an ideology informs people’s choices about what to do with shared resources, managing people doesn’t really have anything to do with scum or politics, I think you’re missing the mark.

More to the point, you’re picking something more divisive than scrum and adding your thoughts about the divisive topic to add to a discussion about scrum, it doesn’t add to the conversation it just ratchets up the conflict. Take it to Facebook.


> Politics is just deciding what to do with shared resources

Sure, as good a definition already.

> managing people doesn’t really have anything to do with scum or politics

People, and particular the labor of people, is a resource! Managing it is inherently political.


People aren’t a resource, they are the ones sharing the resources. You’re conflating a capitalist business structure with politics, they aren’t related.


we could add religion also! the ayatollahs of scrum can speak too!
