What I dislike about SCRUM specifically is that if you're having a rough week at home, recovering from illness or you just have things to do outside of work, you can't really just have an easy week and make up for it later on. It's a kind of constant grind and we always have a way of "filling up" our sprint. If we don't meet our target, it always feels like a fail. I know it shouldn't feel like that but it's human nature.
Maybe having "easy" sprints would work?
There are benefits too, just that constant grind aspect is why I believe it's mostly a temporary endeavor. After 6-12 months most teams seem to just do something else then come back to it once a new manager joins.
