I've actually had to read the "scrum manifesto" when I did an internship as a junior developer. I realized then that absolutely no one there who was "hyped" about scrum and agile really knew what was in there. And it was maybe at most 20 pages?! I didn't really have a big epiphany after reading that but certainly I could act like all of that matters and "play the scrum game" if it made my manager happy. Project management processes and frameworks like that seem so pop sciency or assumption-based to me. It does seem kind of convenient actually, that the manager doesn't have to tell the workers "work more quickly to generate me more profits" and can instead just point to the currently trending buzzwordy practice. Or more likely the manager even genuinely deluded him/herself into thinking it really makes a difference.
