If you want something done right you really do need to do it yourself.

  And learn to understand and balance business wide considerations and how difficult that might be outside of a software-first lens.

    Right, but time was when one could develop and practice that wisdom without all the hooey rituals, sucking up, and insipid make-work that are Scrum. A million, trillion years ago.

      I don't know if politics didn't ever exist. I do agree it's toxic. And a productive workplace is often a turn off to certain kinds of employees. Scrum done a certain way too often is a waterfall in a different way to manage developers and features. Scrum/Agile are helpful where there is little to get consistent results out of team members with varying skillsets, but it doesn't mean it works for high flying team members. For example, using trunk based development for a startup with senior devs is far more efficient, with the understanding that will slow down and including more and more people will mean helping the best parts of your agility remain. Jumping all in to all ceremonies without understanding a 'why' makes a big difference. Anyhow, I get to be quiet now and learn lots from the other comments in this thread, experience has taught me that experience is a great teacher.
