The problem is treating this stuff in an "inheritance" rather than "composition" manner. Which is precisely how most managers think, AKA management fads.
Instead of absorbing the concepts behind PP into the mamagement, they'll declare "our team does PP". We're a PP team now. Or Agile. Or Lean. Or whatever. And they'll fit the team to the book, rather than the other way around. It's rife and terrible.
Sure, I "do" PP... maybe a total of an hour a week, to mentor a junior. Which I do without knowing it's "PP", or calling it that, or caring about that as a practice.
When a managerial practice gets a name, it causes more harm than benefit, because every drone manager out there will get all procrustean and damage existing workflows with it.
