What are the side effects of for a company applying scrum for the first time with it's own existing terminology?
for example : they use development manager terminology for scrum master
second example : They use product directory as product owner. etc.
My personal views:
1) It creates confusion with the scrum concepts.
2) Company might end up missing some useful feature or power of scrum.
....and many more.
There is similar question on open assessment. But, somehow I do not understand one situation where It says management may feel less anxious as one of the possible situation.
This is what i don't understood. Less anxious meaning less worries. My feeling is when company misunderstands scrum (specially when it is new to the organization), It leads to more worries.
Please help me understand if "less anxiety for management" is one of the possible situation or not.
p.s. I started preparing for scrum certification. Please correct me if i am wrong.

That's right...it will *lead* to more worries. Management will eventually realize that the benefits they expected are not accruing, and they'll wonder why.
Using an existing terminology could make them feel less anxious to begin with, because it would imply continuity rather than change. Genuine change is needed, however, if an organization is to implement Scrum and obtain its associated benefits. Using Scrum's own terminology emphasises the fact that it involves a different way of working, and that change may neither be comfortable nor something that can be taken for granted.
