If you are allowed to deliver iteratively and incrementally so long as you deliver all predetermined features exactly as originally specified by the deadline, you might be working in a bad system.

At the start of your enterprise agile transformation, make sure you redefine agile terms to better match your context.

This will expedite the transformation by helping people see that they were agile all along and nothing needs to change.

All teams should use the same agile management tools, configured in the same way. This ensures all teams are following agile best practices.

NO process framework will make an org successful. Success comes from ppl, not frameworks. "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools." Focus on frameworks is focus on the wrong thing.

"Scrum is way more than what’s in the Scrum Guide."

No.

It isn’t.

"Agile" is the things that are not in the Scrum Guide. The things that are not in the Scrum Guide are not part of Scrum. That’s why they call Scrum a "framework." Because it doesn’t include many things. Sorry.

These metrics are exposing issues.

Please adjust the metrics so that these issues go away.

If we want a learning organization, we need to make training mandatory.

As the manager or team lead, make sure you assign all of the tasks to the appropriate individuals at the start of the iteration. It is important that each individual knows what they are accountable for in the iteration.

We can't get rid of the release train. We have a lot of people who work on release train planning. Those people are valuable, therefor the release train is valuable. We obviously can't succeed without a release train.

For productivity, use sprint velocity and burn down/up chart to measure team efficiency and productivity.

Now that we have locked in the features we will deliver in the next 6 months and communicated those promises to the market, you can start scrumming.

The "burn down chart" is aptly named. Let's burn it down to the ground and build something better on the ashes.
