> It s whatever the project manager told me I should face in the morning meeting
Just to be really clear - this is not scrum . People can have a really difficult time with agile and related practices because they re often conflated with bad people/managers/teams. For most of my developmement career I ve followed some sort of agile-two-week-sprint-scrum-with-daily-standup process and I ve never been told what tasks I m doing each morning. I ve never experienced this problem you started (but ive definitely had other problems!)
At the risk of being a bit no true Scottsman, the best agile practicioners (and I don t mean the Deloitte/Thoughtworks paid-by-the-buzzword type) advocate for finding a process that works well
