I am wondering about Agile/SCRUM. It is sold as some miracle team-work and the fact that you as a team have complete freedom.

Is this freedom to choose and decide really free? Or just an "illusion" like Religious free will.

So these questions:

• Can I choose what agile team I want to be in? I want to work for Team A because this is a team that has a higher success rate which is good for my career.
• Can the team choose what SCRUM master or even product owner it wants to work with? Can the team refuse SCRUM master B because he is an complete idiot with a continuous stream of failed projects?
• Can a team demand this current SCRUM master to be replaced because he is more interested in his charts than this team?
• Can the team to slow down next sprint jobs so that burn down graph is always positive and less depressing?

Does the team really has all the power or just a big "illusion" to keep them under control?
