You know you do not do iterative development when:

    • Iterations are longer than 6 weeks
    • Iterations are not time-boxed
    • Team tries to finish all specification before programming
    • Iteration doesn't result in workable code
    • Iteration doesn't include testing

You know you do not use Scrum when:

    • Your product backlog doesn't include estimates
    • You can't generate a release burn-down chart and don't know your velocity
    • The team doesn't know who the product owner is
    • There is a project manager in the project who is involved with the work of the team
