Tired of Agile becoming a bureaucratic mess

I can't help but notice how Agile has turned into this weird corporate monster that's actually slowing everything down.

The irony is killing me - we've got these agile coaches and delivery leads who are supposed to make things smoother, but they're often the ones gumming up the works. I keep running into teams where "agile" means endless meetings and pointless ceremonies while actual work takes a backseat.

The worst part? We've got siloed teams pretending to be cross-functional, sprints that produce nothing actually usable, and people obsessing over story points like they're tracking their Instagram likes. And don't get me started on coaches who think they know better than the devs about how to break down technical work.

What gets me is that most of these coaches have more certificates than real experience. They're turning what should be a flexible, human-centered approach into this rigid checkbox exercise.

Have you found ways to cut through the BS and get back to what matters - actually delivering stuff?
