It's interesting how the community explanation is that some set of perfect ideals was "corrupted" by consultants. That actually happened fairly early in the process.

It's the very consultants that are now blamed for corrupting Agile that made Agile popular. Agile wouldn't be a thing without the feedback loop of the industry it spawned.

Everyone believed, and one day they stopped believing. It's as if perfect "Agile" was nothing but a figment of people's collective imagination.

I've always had a skeptical eye about all this. Some useful things, nothing new, just a fresh coat of fancy buzzwords used to re-invent common sense.
