I feel as though much of modern "Agile" employment is "busy work" disguised as shuffling papers and reaching out (pun not intended) for consensus within an organisation, where everyone is too shit scared to make a decision.
People are divorced from cause and effect, so afraid of consequence. Just do the thing. If it's a good idea, it'll work - if it isn't, then maybe they / you / them shouldn't have done it in the first place.
I understand that's a pretty aggressive and "violent" response when it comes to work - but I have seen so many scenarios escalate and spiral out of control because people who too afraid to own a decision and to ... just get something done.
When it takes longer to document the task than to actually do the task, that's when we should roll our eyes, and just get things done, instead of documenting for the sake of documenting. Life is too short, and already full of far too much bullshit.
