Those methodologies have destroyed software development. They all require tons of meetings, recurring meetings, and when you hold a meeting for no other reason than its appearance on the calendar the chance of it being any use drops to zero, along with its chances of letting out early or being canceled.
Breaking a good developer's concentration is the best way to crush his productivity and the quality of his work, so another fad, er, approach came along in which software testing is more important than writing software. "Flow" is a thing of the past and even ordinary concentration is out of reach.
I think Dilbert was out for a few years before this horrible stuff started.
