That's certainly what it can be used for and probably is on a large scale. The most important one that a lot seem to miss is the "did you face any road blocks?

That's certainly what it can be used for and probably is on a large scale. The most important one that a lot seem to miss is the "did you face any road blocks?", with a culture where the whole team thinks and removes the roadblock such that it is removed for everybody for good. Morphine is a pretty damn good painkiller. Unfortunately, it is extremely easy to abuse to the point where there are more people abuse it than people who genuinely benefit from it. On a larger scale, communism as it was originally conceived sounds like a utopia. Unfortunately, the only thing that's actually happened is an abuse that takes anything from democracy to authoritarian regimes well towards totalitarianism, the anti-thesis of communism. Scrum and agile is the same in that respect. Sounds great. Works well on paper but very rarely used correctly or with the original intention.
