"Scrum"

"Scrum" is an agile project management framework organized around short work cycles called sprints, daily check-in meetings, and defined team roles.

Say this instead: daily standup process

How "Scrum" shows up at work

Widely adopted in tech and increasingly exported to teams that were not asking for it. The daily standup is theoretically 15 minutes; in practice it runs until someone mentions a blocker and that blocker becomes a 45-minute sidebar.
