From what you may have read with my blog, it seems that I am preaching for scrum management and that properly applied, there could not be any problems.  However, that is completely the opposite of what I think.  I think a good manager has to always be prepared to adapt to any situations and yes in fact Scrum can help but I have seen and read so many cases where these managers wrongly applied the methodology.  In fact nothing is perfect and as a manager you need to remember that.  Gamasutra has amazing articles about video games and management and one article that really impressed me was Top 10 Pitfalls Using Scrum Methodology for Video Game Development.  This article really sums up and explain what needs to be improved when a company uses Scrum and what are the pitfalls in using improperly or by assuming certain theory as practically a dogma.  This article is really great because it explains in great details what a manager need to understand and what are the lessons learned from these mistakes.
