    Scrum as mini waterfall isn’t supposed to happen, but it usually does. The idea is everyone can help the people will are currently busy

    The problem is test and build can’t do much to help the system analysts; the analysts and testers can’t help build because they don’t usually know how to code, so all that happens is everyone tests when build is done

    As an analyst I don’t do any testing because I had a bad team leader in a past job as a function tester which soured me on the job, so it’s pretty much mini waterfall to me

      the mini waterfall is kind of the intention of a sprint. The whole idea is to reduce the huge waterfall and its horrible surprises at the end when it is way too late. Have those surprises early by doing small waterfalls. But everybody is splitting it wrong so all the small waterfalls have no outcome until the whole thing is done, just like you do without sprints.
