As per usual Management buried there head in the sand wondering how else they would justify their jobs. 1 team member replied, with regard to task estimates, this is a constant debate, and as scrummaster i generally stick to the rules as per Ken Schwaber due to thae fact that we in tenerife are not in a market place where it is easy to hire conciensous professionals that 'care' for their code and thus need 'help' with their 'self management', but i would be grateful for your thoughts on the comment below: Andy This is the number one reason why I'm against hours in Scrum. I believe it's an issue of man management and teamwork. I still firmly believe that the hours is the beginning of the erosion of everything Agile in Scrum. Kill *all* metrics. The *only* thing that counts is the deliverable. I'm kinda pissing in the wind on this one though. I know I'm right however :) - Guy Andy, I sent your article out to the teams i am scrummmaster for, and to our management team.

This is the number one reason why I’m against hours in Scrum.

I believe it’s an issue of man management and teamwork. I still firmly believe that the hours is the beginning of the erosion of everything Agile in Scrum.

Kill *all* metrics. The *only* thing that counts is the deliverable.

I’m kinda pissing in the wind on this one though. I know I’m right however :)
