As I explain above the oldies are there because their 401ks tanked and they had to get back into the workforce somehow without programming skills. Hence, the Agile Coaches in the AARP set

No they don't

Oh I thought Salesforce.com was doing well with Scrum.. Are you saying it was mostly a farce there or..?

Here's my take on the "Olde Agile Coaches".

Around 2000 the stock market tanked, and a lot of these old agile coaches were seeing their retirement go away.

They didn't have any meaningful programming skills to bring to the workplace, but they needed some income.

So what did they do? Become agile coaches!

That's why most agile festivals look like an AARP convention, and why they drone on about Zen parables and radical 70s leftism.
