Scrum is an awful practice.
In my experience it halves productivity and doubles staff turnover and results in a team comprised exclusively of dictators and submissives.
Making people stand for extended periods of time, or a similar uncomfortable physical posture, is known as a 'stress position' and is considered to be torture under International Law.
Working in IT is meant to be an intellectual endeavour and shouldn't involve manual labour.
Moreover, any methodology that involves somebody being called 'the Master' belongs in the 18th Century.
I imagine there will be many employment tribunals around scrum in the near future.
