Methodology Assessment: Scrum → Hybrid?

📍 Diagnosis: Scrum Ceremony Without Scrum Discipline

Unpredictable velocity ≠ Scrum failure. Usually means:

Scope creep within sprints (saying yes to everything)
Unrealistic estimation (optimism bias)
External dependencies breaking sprint commitment

Don't Switch Yet — Fix Scrum First

Kanban won't solve estimation problems, it just hides them.

Fix Plan (2 Sprint Experiment)

Sprint N: Scope Lock

No new work added after Sprint Planning (ZERO exceptions)
Track: How much unplanned work sneaks in? (This is your real problem)

Sprint N+1: Realistic Estimation

Use yesterday's weather: Plan only 70% of last sprint's completed points
Track: Did you hit the sprint goal with 70% capacity?

If Still Unpredictable After 2 Sprints

→ Switch to Scrumban (Kanban flow + Scrum cadence)

Daily standup: Keep it
Sprint planning: Replace with weekly replenishment
Velocity: Replace with cycle time + throughput
Retrospective: Keep it, but focus on flow blockers

For Your 8-Person Team

Scrumban often works better than pure Scrum because:

Less ceremony overhead (8 people × 2hr planning = expensive)
More flexible for teams with mixed project types
Still has rhythm and improvement cycles
