Any Scrum without working product at the end of a sprint is a failed Scrum.
The fact is, when you look at the best teamsโlike the ones that existed at Toyota or 3M when Takeuchi or Nonaka wrote their paper, or the ones at Google or Salesforce.com or Amazon todayโthere isnโt this separation of roles.
Greatness canโt be imposed; it has to come from within. But it does live within all of us.
