I feel this whole Agile industry is to distribute tech riches to wider group of people who otherwise have no interest or skill to work in IT industry. A nice benefit to companies are improved diversity numbers.

Had to smile a little bit when I read this.

I think most scrum masters are employed to virtue signal some kind of agility and organizational potential for change. Which then never results in anything tangible.

It’s quite sad.

If you really care and do what you are supposed to as an SM, you are very likely to get into trouble, because upper management usually isn’t interested the least bit in real change.

Real change is hard and will only happen if the pain is already too strong.

Real change might involve talking to your customer and changing the processes they are used to, which is usually not beneficial to the “management” level.

It’s really not about scrum as such, but about the incentive structure that’s present in most medium to big sized companies.
