Manager scrum/any kind of process common misunderstandings:
1. Do your agile stuff (like work your ass off even on the week-end)
2. Yes agile to have more control about you slackers

It is normal to understand that managers need to see who is performing well
or not, and how this could be enhanced.

the players.
The only thing that matter is:
- make a distinction between important vs urgent tasks
- make every player want to play in the same game as the managers, people
need to want to do something.
