Because the ones that work actually require management to manage the least. That’s why. It’s not meant for management it’s meant for teams to self manage (core tenant of XP and Agile is self organizing teams).

My theory goes that since the general management / MBA mindset didn’t evolve to do higher level things with the time this would free up for management, so they kept turning the screws until management as a job was also a requirement for things to work and then it all starts to deviate from the core tenants until it’s just Agile In Name Only or what have you
