I've worked on all kinds of projects, and every single time the project failed, the tooling and methodology were blamed, not the individuals. This is the #1 cause of failed software projects - the inability for individuals to take responsibility for parts of the workflow, for which they are incompetent, and not subsequently working on improving that competence at an individual level. But true, breaking larger problems down into smaller units (Agile/Scrum) is an effective way for a "manager" to help their developers - but I argue this is non-optimal for sociological reasons, not technical: Adherence to a cargo-cult is a function of laziness, not competence.
