Many Scrum Masters and Product Owners have forgotten their purpose and have become glorified meeting schedulers and ticket takers in the corporate delivery theater.
The Product Owner role is undervalued and often underestimated, with some organizations mistakenly merging it with the Scrum Master role.
Organizational leaders often misunderstand the accountability and value of the Scrum Master and Product Owner roles, viewing them as process facilitators rather than value enablers.
There is a systemic failure of understanding and a culture of mediocre survivalism that needs to be addressed in order to rebuild the integrity of these crucial roles in Agile.
