Translations:Antipatrones/4/en

The most common antipatterns in agile teams include:

• Scrum zombie: the team goes through all Scrum events mechanically without producing any real adaptation or learning.
• Feature factory: success is measured by the volume of features delivered, not by the value generated.
• HiPPO (Highest Paid Person's Opinion): product decisions are made by following the opinion of the most senior person, regardless of the evidence.
• Sprint waterfall: the sprint is organized sequentially (analysis → design → development → testing) instead of as concurrent, cross-functional work.
• Scrum Master as secretary: the Scrum Master takes notes, organizes meetings, and manages tools instead of facilitating the team's self-management.
• Infinite backlog: the Product Backlog holds hundreds or thousands of unprioritized stories, which makes real prioritization impossible.
