Thank you Peter. My view is that you need to build the a foundation of knowledge to have a better understanding of Agile. One big deficiency of some Agile practitioners is that they keep rediscovering the wheel.
Kanban, Lean, TOC, servant Leader, Team Dynamics are not new concepts.
I believe that any manager, PMs Included, must have a solid knowledge of finance and statistics, two of the weak areas of Scrum Masters.
