 ### More effective Agile beginnings: Scrum
 
-
+The main common failure is not to use SCRUM in its entirety, but only implement certain parts. Scrum is already broken down to the minimum processes, everything you take away in addition will break the system (might not apply to power scrum users, but certainly to beginners).
+#### Most common Challenges
+- **Ineffective Product Owner**: Before agile the most common source of failure was poor definition of requirements. Since the product owner is responsible for requirements it comes at no surprise that this is a common challenge. Businesses should treat this role as the highest leverage role for the scrum team and fill it accordingly. With former training business analysts, customer support staff and testers can make excellent POs.
+	- No Product Owner
+	- Only 1-2 teams per product owner
+	- PO doesn't understand the business
+	- PO doesn't understand how to specify software requirements
+	- PO doesn't understand the Development team's technical challenges, thus does not effectively prioritize --> accumulation of technical debt
+	- PO is not co-located with the rest of the Scrum team --> no timely answers to requirement questions
+	- PO is not empowered to make product decisions
+	- PO's agenda differs from the business's: team works towards a different goal than the business
+	- PO does not represent typical users --> for example: PO is a power user of the software
+	- PO refuses to abide by scrum rules --> change requirements mid sprint, or other disruptions
+- **Insufficient Product Backlog refinement**: the backlog is the developer's food and you never want to starve your development team. The PO's job is to update the backlog continously and keep it high quality..
