Where have you witnessed Scrum being used outside of the IT industry? (lemmy.world)

Scrum is an agile framework that, if applied properly, can boost the efficiency of teamwork. It is known to be versatile enough, so it could be applied in basically any sort of productive teamwork, even beyond IT (e.g. bakeries, government organizations, etc.)

However, I've never ever seen it being used anywhere else other than in software development, therefore I've always been curious if Scrum is actually being used outside of IT somewhere.

See I work in imaging and it’s mostly pointless for us. Maybe if I did nursing I could see the benefits. We even have procedures but I can see all that information in Epic. I genuinely do see some benefits to it but I think it gets overdone with meetings etc.

It also doesn’t help that at huddle they talk about things that don’t relate to me really. I don’t care about hospital census or the three day metric they just started using for appointments. Most of it just doesn’t apply to me, and doesn’t help me to do my job. Like oh goodie there’s 30 people here with COVID, nice! That doesn’t help me at all with me 09:00 patient.
