		<description>1) What are the top five GREAT things that have been amplified in your organization when introducing Scrum?
creativity, teamwork/collaboration, communication

2) What are the top five INSANE things (read: Dysfunctions) that have been amplified when introducing Scrum? our engineering practices are &quot;an opportunity area&quot;, we can&#039;t handle conflict, there&#039;s little clicks of people who don&#039;t like other clicks of people, management doesn&#039;t support scrum, functional managers introduce a lot of scope creep, project manager doesn&#039;t show the &#039;true&#039;(relative to scrum i think) status to the executives(prefers the &#039;feelgood&#039; message),

3) Was Scrum the cause of them?
nope, however... i&#039;m sure it&#039;ll get blamed because we said &#039;scrum&#039;

4) Did Scrum force a change one way or the other?
no, see above about no exec management support and the &#039;we&#039;re always green status&#039;</description>
