I love Agile and Scrum for solving my own problems. Nothing is better than being able to iterate on an idea to determine if it's right or not.

However, I mostly witness selfish, political, or misinformed ideas being dictated as "requirements". I learned really fast that stakeholders do not like their ideas being questioned with data points from a scrum research spike.

So who enjoys wasting time when your professional viewpoint won't be heard?

If management or stakeholders are unwilling to listen to the team that solves problems for a living, why should I/we waste energy on Agile or Scrum?
