I’ve managed teams that have been excellent without scrum. Then there’s one or two teams that just cannot get things done and are all over the place. Had to introduce scrum to get more structure and accountability to getting things done. Once the team started having a good cadence, slowly weaned off scrum.Tldr; scrum is another tool in your toolbelt you can reach for. Some teams work better with scrum, some dont. Experiment and see which one works - ultimately the goal is the same which is a productive, well oiled machine, regardless of the ‘how’

Different teams get by with different amounts of Scrum Processes.
Less experienced ones need the full-on shit with backlog grooming, planning poker, dailies and retrospectives.
When the team gets better (and there isn't much turnover), you can relax the Processes.
I'm pretty sure I might be the only one on HN who has Scrum actually work in real life. (I've had my share of shitty-Scrum too, like 45 minute "dailies"... =)
