I like the emphasis on iteration in agile/scrum frameworks. however there are some possible issues: 1. they are burdened by jargon and dogma around process, 2. they tended to turn teams inward (less collaboration companywide), 3. seemed like they would just spin on short-term goals ad infinitum, and not have a good mechanism for driving toward the bigger picture, e.g. quarterly goals / OKRs. what was your takeaway?
Great points Yuuki. Some personal thoughts on each
1. Biology is one field that absolutely loves *creating* and proliferating jargon. IMO they would embrace the complexity of scrum.
2. I disagree with this one. The documentation and process of scrum inherently make the process transparent. In my past experience working in orgs with scrum we were able to prevent the silos by simply inviting cross-functional partners to scrum ceremonies - daily standups and retros
3. Many organizations do a scrum-of-scrums to address the exact concern you have. To zoom out and deal with the bigger picture.
This matches my experience. Especially making the time for a retrospective. If you take away one thing — it is that a retrospective is monumental in improving how labs work.
