The funniest agile system I've worked under was with a totally incompetent manager who graded us on number of tickets. Despite supposedly having a technical background he knew almost nothing about software engineering, and didn't care to learn, but needed to feel some sort of control so he would count up tickets each week and berate anyone who hadn't done enough. Once I got over the initial horror it actually worked out pretty well. I would keep a stack of trivial work on standby for any time I needed to show some board progress and then used the majority of my time to dig into whatever work looked most interesting.
