    I don't think this is a solution at all. It's like, my hand hurts..Oh, let's just cut it. Commented Jan 10, 2011 at 11:38

    It depends - if the company has chosen to implement SCRUM and staff memebers are not willing to work as required by the business then that's fairly classical grounds for dismissal. Commented Jan 10, 2011 at 12:30
  • @Sorantis: more like, "if thy left hand offend thee, cut if off", or something like that. And, warn him first. Commented Jan 10, 2011 at 14:44

    @Rob: go through the process, make it clear what is expected of the skeptic, and if he is unwilling to do what is required, either let him leave, or else fire him. Failing to do that sends the wrong message to the rest of the team - that SCRUM doesn't matter, and that they can all ignore it, just like the skeptic. Commented Jan 10, 2011 at 15:24

    Agile is about the team. If you have someone that is refusing to be part of the team then management needs to put them on probation or let them go. In the long run you will be better with a smooth running team that with someone causing trouble. I have heard many stories of agile teams destroyed by one bad apple. Commented Jan 10, 2011 at 16:58
