This post explores the True Scrum dysfunction, why it persists, and how Scrum Masters can guide their teams to rediscover agility through Tactical Feedback Loops.

Fresh Ideas: A Call for a New Scrum Organization in 2025

The Scrum community deserves an organization dedicated entirely to advancing Scrum practice—a space that goes beyond rigid frameworks and embraces the many ways Scrum can work for teams and organizations.

We need an organization that:

• Puts Scrum at the Center: Focused solely on Scrum, without diluting its purpose by prioritizing broader Agile concepts.
• Supports Diverse Implementations: Encourages teams and organizations to discover the Scrum practices that work best for their unique contexts, rather than enforcing a single approach.
• Builds on Proven Expertise: Led by a board of practitioners with real-world Scrum experience, ensuring practical, meaningful guidance.
• Values Collaboration: Ensures that content and guidance are shaped by a diverse community, not controlled by a select few.

This is a call for an organization that reinvigorates Scrum, supports its practitioners, and strengthens the community through collaboration and inclusivity. Let’s make 2025 the year we come together to build an organization that truly champions Scrum.
