TL; DR: Maximizing Utilization as a Relic from the Industrial Management Past. There are plenty of failure possibilities with Scrum. Since Scrum is an intentionally incomplete framework with a reasonable yet short “manual,” this effect should not surprise anyone.

An Agile Transformation Roadmap is all about getting people to change and having that change be sticky. But getting people to change is hard and resistance to change is often the thing that derails Transformation. The thing to recognize about change is that it’s usually not that people don’t want to.
