Layoffs of Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches don't signal agile nirvana — they signal a reckoning. What the reduction in agile roles actually means, why it's happening, and what you should do about it.
OKRs have become theater in most organizations — another alignment tax with little real substance. This is the reset: why OKRs work when they work, how to diagnose what's broken, and what principled OKR implementation actually looks like.
OKR theater is when OKRs become tasks, key results become outputs, and the whole system devolves into admin. How Scrum's empirical principles — inspect, adapt, transparency — can fix what's broken in your OKR process.
What Agile Theater looks like in practice: the surface-level adoption that delivers compliance without capability. Signs your organization is performing agility rather than practicing it.
Agile Theater — going through the motions without the substance — is both widespread and harmful. Why it is time to demand real agility rather than agile-flavored project management.
