Most of the pathologies that get associated with Agile or Scrum in particular are in fact the manifestations of Managed implementation of Agile/Scrum. In my view, a perfect litmus test is the primary qualifications of a Scrum Master - if it's a PM, then it's rather a Scrum Manager, a chimera of the corporate existential doom. Ideally, in my opinion, it's a rotating role among the team members. This may simply be impossible read unallowable in many organisations due to hierarchies, chain of command and payscale restrictions. Stale organizations have underlying reasons to be so wasteful yet to live on. I often wonder how some visibly and practically crappy restaurants or stores could stay in business for many decades without much change. Perhaps change has a different meaning and value for different organizations.
