Scrum That Ships: The Scrum Theater (Module 2)

🎭 Scrum That Ships — Module 2: Scrum Theater and Zombie Roles

Are your standups feeling more like theater than teamwork?
Welcome to the second module of Scrum That Ships — a practical, no-fluff video series for real teams who want to make Scrum work outside of the textbook.

This episode takes a deeper look at what happens when Scrum turns into performance — when the process is followed, but the purpose is gone.
We unpack the most common role failures in agile teams — and how even good people can slip into zombie behavior when context, clarity, or trust go missing.

🧠 You’ll learn:

• What “zombie” versions of Scrum roles look like in real life
• Why Scrum Masters become ritual clerks, and how to help them grow
• How Product Owners drift away from users (and the team)
• Why Project Managers push hard without delivering value
• What makes developers check out — and how to bring them back in
• How to fix these patterns from inside the team — without dogma or blame

🎬 What’s included:

• Full HD video (~25 min) — real examples, team dynamics, and practical fixes
• Bonus visual PDF — summary of role-based dysfunctions and how to counter them
• Instant access — watch at your own pace, revisit anytime

🛠 This is not Scrum theory. It’s how to survive it — and make it useful.
