Scrum, once focused on user needs and promoting communication and empathy, has morphed into something different in the corporate world.Developers now use sprints as an excuse to work in isolation, avoiding communication and disregarding the needs of others.The role of the project manager/product owner is seen as the only one responsible for talking to the customer, leaving engineers disconnected.The lack of empathy and communication skills among engineers is setting back progress and hindering the true spirit of agility.
