# Scrum Sucks Because You’re Doing It Wrong

**[The New Stack](https://daily.dev/sources/newstack)** · 8 min read · 10 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Scrum is often misunderstood and misapplied, leading to frustration among engineers. Effective scrum implementation requires understanding its fundamentals, such as having a fully cross-functional team, conducting meaningful standups and retrospectives, and correctly handling metrics like story points and velocity. Common pitfalls include partial adoption of agile practices, incorrectly set teams, and not acting on retrospective feedback. Addressing these issues can greatly improve the success of scrum in a team.
