Why the MindMap approach for simple projects has nothing to do with Scrum

[This is part 4 in our little spare-time project series. See parts one, two, and three for some context.]

For the planning setup of our fancy little spare-time project we talked about building the basis by means of a MindMap that includes things like a vision, a backlog, releases that could be seen as Sprints, and features that could be described as user stories.

So, we are talking about Scrum, right?

Wrong.

This is no Scrum as we are talking about a simple-simple project setup. So simple that it most likely only includes you. Nobody else. Thus no distinct roles. No meetings. And not even a need for time boxes (if we opt out of teuxdeux-part three).

So, don't be mislead. Even if two things may share some terminology, they don't need to be the same. And if we don't do Scrum, we don't call it Scrum.
