It’s actually about getting management out of the way of letting engineers do their jobs.

There has never been a better strategy for letting engineers steer the ship and make decisions that ship code instead of getting micromanaged by non-experts that generally bungle things up and insert a bunch of external priorities without reconciling them with reality.

The reality in my mind is that agile is the reaction to excess management, which is a massive problem in technology organizations.

I’m sure there are other things too. Some of the other comments are gold. But that’s my 2c.
