One thing I’ll say about this article is that an important thing I’ve learned about Scrum is that the team largely fails and succeeds based on the Product Owner: if the PO focuses on the wrong things, you lose. So maybe that’s part of what happened in Skype vs Whatsapp, though I don’t know that, I’m just guessing.
Other than that, it’s an interesting discussion. I agree that if you have a good team, you don’t necessarily need the formality of Scrum. That being said, from what I’ve read, a lot of people don’t seem to know how to execute Scrum properly.
