What is a hyper-productive state? Oh, you mean being able to work without interruptions from the phone, the boss, the coworker, the random fire drill, the network changes IT makes, etc...

You mean that when I have to interface to someone else's code, they've already properly tested and documented it so I know exactly what to do and am guaranteed that it'll do what it's supposed to do?

You mean the client has done enough homework on their own so that they have a thorough spec, have budgeted for testing, and changes to the spec are only going to be minimal and usually cosmetic?

You mean the company gives me the proper software tools, decent equipment, and even pays for the training in new technologies so I can get my job done better?

Not sure how scrum and XP would help me be "hyper" productive.
