I agree with your statements. But it has nothing to do with Agile or Scrum. It all has to do with company culture. It reminds me of my favorite Henrik Kniberg

I agree with your statements. But it has nothing to do with Agile or Scrum. It all has to do with company culture. It reminds me of my favorite Henrik Kniberg quote "If your company doesn't like the truth, than maybe Agile isn't for you". Very few companies realize value from script kiddies on a constant death march (great quote BTW) and that prevents no one from trying.
