Hello scrum community. 

I'm a student on the IT-University in Denmark and i'm currently working on my bachelor assignment, which is about agile project management and scrum. I will be observing a larger company that is in the process of implementing scrum and they have already tried once but failed, and is now trying again. I will be observing the scrummasters way of implementing scrum to see what challenges that will arise and maybe come up with changes or suggestions to ease their process. 

I'm asking you what experiences you have with this kind of challenge and if you know of any culprits i should looked out for. Also do you of some relevant litteratur for this kind of assignment? I will be making my own litteratur research, but it's always a good idea to ask some experienced minds for some guidance.

I hope to get some good pointers from you guys.

There is material on agilepatterns.org which may be of some use.

If  a scrum team is self organizing and cross functional, or if the organization can form the scrum teams with these qualities, definitely, they will  be successful in scrum. 

Picking a cross functional team is not a bigger task(it is a big though) but making them self organizing is a bigger one. read some blogs on how to make teams self organizing.

as everyone say - Learning scrum is easy. Practicing is difficult.

Dear Mathias, there was big news recently in our German press. Apperantly our "Arbeitsagentur" tried to develop a new software for internal use - using agile method. It seems, they spent a few years and some 60 Mio Euro and they failed. News said, that they cancelled the project. If you understand some German, than this might be a source:
