> Regarding why your team failed - i've been in a similiar scenario like you as a team lead. The answer is simple - no one in your team was open to adopting scrum so it failed. That's fine but it's not the fault of scrum rather than the company management.

How do you know no one was open to trying it? I specifically mentioned that I personally objected to scrum, but wrote nothing about other people.

What happened in fact was that people initially really tried their best ti cooperate, but it simply didn't work very well and crippled the team.
