The thing is scrum still works best for smaller team sizes. I started a contract in Cambridge recently and there are 30 people in our daily scrum metings plus another 30 on teleconference and the scrum meetings have a 15 min max time so you get about 15 seconds per person. which isnt much but better than spending half the day in meetings I guess. Plus using scrumworks takes up a load of time, especially when the client uses it like bugtrak to report every tiny little thing instead of general user stories like it was designed to do. The agile process was originally a framework to strip out the bull out of business methodology, however it can only do so when implemented properly and its astounding how bloated companies can take something designed to reduce bloat and turn it into a convoluted process.
