Scrum has done a lot of good to the world of software engineering and its rising popularity made it a synonym for Agile. Scrum is agile, but Scrum does not enforce agile software development practices. Scrum mainly helps to surface and handle management problems and the resulting risks, but technical issues can go undetected for long, even until it is too late. Without a focus on continuous improvement of technical excellence the health of the code base is at risk. At the end of the day, good management is a pre-cursor for success but to sustain in the long run, the technical complexity of software projects must not be ignored.
