Although each team implements Agile in their own special way, it helps to take a step back and think about whether you are really following Agile principles. Here are some things to think about.
Are you really following Scrum if -
- You don't know what a minimum viable product is
- You don't do demos
- You don't do retrospectives
- Your don't follow Scrum roles
- You don't have a backlog
- Your team is constantly overwhelmed with end of sprint deadlines
- You follow 2 week iterations, but don't even attempt to produce working software at the end of each iteration
- Folks on the team are stuck and don't bring it up or ask for help
- Your team thinks 'stand-ups' are a complete waste of time and regularly skips them
- You have separate 'development scrum team' and 'verification scrum team'
If you answered yes to the questions above, you may not be benefiting much from your Agile experiments. I encourage talking about your approach someone who has experience implementing Scrum. Possibly, my post on getting started on your Agile journey may help you find reasonable a start to some of the problems.
