From a collection of writings I wrote in 2007 when I first explored this methodology.
We are almost two iterations old with this process now and many issues have started surfacing up. Listed below are some of the very common comments I have been hearing over last few weeks.
I am planning to collect all the comments (will keep updating this post as I hear new ones) and finally intend to check whether the comments are resulting out of Scrum or will result irrespective of the process.

I am planning to collect all the comments (will keep updating this post as I hear new ones) and finally intend to check whether the comments are resulting out of Scrum or will result irrespective of the process.
- I am frustrated with Scrum. It is not working for me, I am not able to make any progress
- I am irritated with the number of meetings I am attending. I dont think the meetings are helping my productivity
- I am forced to sit at a stretch for 3 -4 hours. The discussions during these meetings are more of a dialog. I think we are all wasting time with these meetings.
- What scrum, we still have the same problems between the Development and QA.
- Development is not giving us the feature till the last day of the iteration and they expect to test and accept within a day
- As a QA person, I have been idle for whole week and I am frustrated about that
- We are not having sufficient time to design and then implement
- How can I put a timebox on an R&D activity. It does not matter to me, scrum or no scrum, the R&D activities will proceed in the same way.
- I told you so, Scrum wont work for us
- Scrum can not work in totality for us, we need to modify the same to suit our needs
- Scrum says no documentation, but I am creating only documents
- Documentation need to be in line during the iterations. There should be no buffer for documentation post the development iterations. If everything happens well, doc related activities should be completed along with development and testing.
- The planning is all screwed. I have so many external dependencies, I cannot even commit to anything. Everything changes on a daily basis
- What ever I did over last iteration is a waste. After the feedback and demos, I am asked not to pursue the effort any further
- The stakeholders are not involved. The product owner is not setting the priorities.
- I am not responsible for the failure. I didnt get sufficient information
