I have come to believe that Agile is a hoax and Scrum too is a hoax. Standup meeting is a bigger hoax. Anyways, long before I understood this I wrote about why the hoaxes should happen towards the end of the day. http://www.rahul.ws/on-daily-meetings.html

Yes, they're both ways for consultants to make money. Essentially a marketing gimmick for managers who don't know how to run a development department because they were never developers to begin with and they don't trust developers to manage themselves. It's been going strong for 20 years and is probably a billion dollar industry. Just another part of the US scam economy.
