Currently, I am not living this hell. But I gotta tell you, you are supporting a pipe dream.

Literally, if I cannot describe a direct benefit to the so-called end user it won't even be looked at. The development and engineering team are unimportant. The first part I was told directly, the second part was implicit.

Most corporate environments use scrum or agile as ceremony - decorations to make everybody think they're doing something better than what they're really doing. Then when it fails, they can go back to what they were really doing and claim agile was just a fad.
