Pied piper of software development; true full stack from embedded bare metal to cloud and everything in between. Currently leading all software development at Blink.
All opinions here are my own.
Inclusion makes us all better. Climate change is real. Tacos and sushi are proof that we live in a good world.
Scrum by micro management leads to learned helplessness (LH).
LH kills software development and innovation as the team learns that "someone else will do the work defining every step". This leads to 'leaders" stepping in more to micro.
My tl;dr on how to break this pattern is give the team the mandate and the space to fail. Repeatedly. Also, get the person driving to give up control. Most of the time, they don't want that control. This tl;dr has a lot of sub parts and it's never easy.

I feel sad every time a developer tells me they hate agile. no, you hate micro managed scrum. I hate that too.
Too many times I've seen Scrum rituals and rites take precedence over people and learning. Agile is not replanning every 2 weeks. Agile is not Scrum. Agile is not ritual.
Agile is learning. Agile is change. Agile is being focused on the north star while delivering progress toward said north star. Agile is many ways to go forward, not one.
