What should my team members do if they cannot complete work on time and are unwilling to work overtime?

In an agile development team, there is a phenomenon that has existed for a long time: Procrastination. Developers or team members stay idle in the early stages of development, and cannot complete the work in the later stage. There is a problem in the statement itself: “ the tester can’t complete the testing”. Because in Scrum, we emphasize the team itself. So, if the testing cannot be completed, it is not the tester but rather the team that failed to deliver on time. From the team's point of view, it is everyone's responsibility to finish it. The blame should not fall solely on the tester.

A financial woman with an annual salary of 700K found the feeling of first love on her first meeting with an Agile teacher

I am a financial woman who loves life and socializing. After years of hard work in the IT industry, I finally became the director, leading two teams of about 20 people. But recently, my career is at a bottleneck, and my teams work overtime every day. I saw that my ex-colleague often posted on how timely and high quality his team delivered after using "agile", and how well they were praised by the boss. Though also using Scrum, my team was always delayed, which made me jealous and frustrated. Both my teams were equipped with their own Scrum Masters and Product Owners. But the problem was that the requirements were unclear and the bugs were so frequent that I had to stay up late when I was supposed to leave work on time and enjoy my life. We sought management advice and even changed our approach, but still, it did not help. That was until last weekend when I got my passion back and I felt the love for my work again.

This call, which lasted only five minutes, led to years of contemplation by Scrum's founding father.

he call came from an executive at a top 500 company. The enterprise was an early adopter of Scrum and has been successful. Later, in the hopes of further improving efficiency within the enterprise, the well-known ‘Scaled Agile framework’ was used. "We immediately lost 30% of our productivity. Jeff Sutherland, you're the founder of Scrum. You should be responsible for it. You should fix Scrum at Scale." Came the voice on the other end of the line. Jeff was very surprised. He was immediately lost in thought.
