For failure to occur all it takes is team members to do nothing. It is easier to remain silent then to professionally state their misunderstanding or difference of opinion. Or what commonly happens, go complain to others instead of going to whomever and resolving the issue face to face. For scrum teams it is utmost important that team members recognize their responsibility in achieving the goals of the product roadmap. The project manager is no longer in place and the team becomes the incompetent project manager. The team members recognize who does or who does not get the job done. If their are team weaknesses then seek to fix them or bring on a team member with the necessary strengths. If a team member brings a greater tax then value; don't pay the tax. Ask the resourcing manager to replace them with a better value. Stop waiting for someone else to fix your team problems; they aren't coming.
