It seems we go astray when we start defining and evangelizing things that may have worked for some group of people to push them on others.

Somewhere in all this process stuff, I see maybe what some teams were doing but I doubt it was as rigid and I doubt they indulged in it when it made no sense. Once these teams or people are asked what they're doing right - it eventually gets defined into rules and then evangelized to people made to feel they can't deviate or improvise when the framework makes no sense. "Trust the process."

So people start wasting their time going through the process rather than using the process as a framework/tool for getting things done, they 'do' the process.

Their job is standup, their job is scrum, tickets, and points, and as a result their job is only marginally to do the things that need doing.

Company's might take more issue with this inefficiency if the workforce didn't double as something to manipulate pre and post head/tailwind to make the stock rise.
