The blind leading the blind

This must be the best analogy I’ve heard for all the companies that want to become Agile (whatever that means for them) by implementing Scrum and doing so by either:

- hiring Scrum Master “secretaries” with no experience but with a certification as a (nice-to-have) requirement that can help them weed out other candidates that applied for the same job;

- bring in Agile trainers with lots and lots of certifications but no “hands-on” experience in any real development project before, who have a “seagull” approach to coaching by coming in, s#itting all over the place, then flying out;

- or change a Project Manager’s job title, send them to a two day Scrum training, then have them return to make no real transformation in the way work is performed but instead just do the same things over and over again but in a different way.
