Found Words : Scrumfall

as per Reginald Braithwaite on twitter

“Scrumfall” is what happens when the development sub-team is agile, but the product owner isn’t.

The net result is the subset of waterfall that only permits inspecting and adapting the things development can control independently.— Reginald Braithwaite (@raganwald) February 7, 2019

Scrumfall” perfectly encapsulates what I’ve experienced as Agile with a series of rapids, ending with Niagara Falls.

I associate Scrumfall so often with ScurmFail, but maybe not, if the end of an agile project finishes at the end of an allotted time/money and its okay that all the wish list items were not delivered (your wish list is not the to-do list)
