I have come to the conclusion that is not about the methodology but the people. I worked in super productive teams that were not following any "agile" methodology, or really any particular methodology.

The goal was to get shit done and make customers happy.

On the other end of the spectrum, I have worked with teams that were pretending to embrace agile and scrum methodology though could keep standup quick and sharp.

It was an excruciating ritual that would take my most productive hours of the day: every day!

I always try to work with smart people. People who don't need much direction and know how to get things done.
