Agile is like HR - everyone thinks it's supposed to benefit the developer/employee. It's not. It exists to benefit the company. Agile was created so that consultants could provide better estimates to their clients in a field that was incredibly new, at a time when methods of evaluation were based on things like construction (think Gantt charts). Its primary focus is on communication and setting expectations, which is critical when dealing with non-technical stakeholders that think everything should take a few hours. Everything beyond that is a bunch of bullshittery to sell books, conferences, keynotes, courses and certificates.
