I have been working with Scrum and other Agile methodology for 16 years. When I read Aleena’s article How Scrum Hurts Diversity in Your Company?, I began writing my comment, but after a while I realized, the amount of my response is several Medium articles.

Free link to this article:

So I wrote a series about my experiences and thoughts with Scrum in several articles. URLs under the links are for non-Medium members:
