After over a decade of this, I'm convinced "agile" (scrum, really) was created to provide more jobs for product managers and create fluff roles like "agile coach." It may have more value for less experienced teams. More experienced developers will become frustrated by the ceremonial nonsense. I prefer the kanban style.
