So Richard Hendricks and his business advisor decide on Scrum, a well-known software development method that can (among its other virtues) get people who are loners to work together toward a common goal. That would be a good idea – if it were the right process for the team. Scrum is a pretty non-invasive and inclusive project management methodology. But the Silicon Valley team groans when it is introduced. It’s supposed to let teams self-organize with daily communication and yellow post-it notes. But the power of scrum comes from allowing the software team to interact with customers and respond to their needs, and Pied Piper’s product has yet to see a customer.
