Nah, it was created to add a new industry on top of IT. Everyone is doing Agil.. I mean Scrum. So everyone need to be certified, to follow workshop, to follow the "innovation", to buy the associated toolings and so on.
No, I want to be able to represent myself as authoritatively as the guy who proclaims to be “scrum certified,” as though scrum is so valuable as to have a certification.
> ...Skype in 2012, the company had gone all-in on Scrum. All engineers and product people were sent to best-in-class Scrum training, facilitated by one of the Agile manifesto’s founders.
We trade the story of one Agile Founder wanting to kill his monster baby, but the others have been making bank.
I'm well aware of when/how Scrum was invented, hence "tinfoil hat".
The point was that whatever the origins and intent, Scrum benefits Big Tech (who largely avoid Scrum as per OP) by hobbling smaller competitors who adopt it.
