But if the programmers are running the show, what is management supposed to do? That's why there's a scrum master. Yes, you need a leader, but often that role gets pushed to a manager, who focuses too much on process. They should rename it the scrum playmaker, with each sprint focusing on a new playmaker, returning control to the team. Managers also have a much different understanding of the word "competent" than the people on the team.
