I don't think that's necessarily a case of conflict of interest, but merely misunderstanding what agile methodologies are really about. They're really quite rad

  The reason the methodologies get butchered is partially and substantially because different forces try to pull it to their own side for their own benefit. The behaviour is too sophisticated for it to be merely an innocent misunderstanding. On some level it is being knowingly manipulated and weaponised. It's inevitable because essentially every methodology is a very fuzzy description of a set of ideas and practices so people and groups will interpret it in a way that benefits them.

    Yes, too little attention is paid to the motivations for doing it, and the political obstacles that can be placed in the way - the founders of agile were quite naive about office politics and sociology, in my estimation.
