Why I Stopped Coaching Agility and So Should You!
summary
Hypothesis: removing agile coaches speeds organizational improvement more than deploying them—10 years vs 5 years claim. Experiments with ~100–120 Indian practitioners test a superficial code of ethics and a 90–95% pass threshold for certifications; many say no to ethics that limit career claims, and most drop out if exams are made extremely hard. Tool study shows Jira still enforces single-assignee workflows and adds decimal story points, propagating misleading practices rather than improving engineering.
