Continuous improvement of the process itself is part of any good agile process. Corporate buzzword compliance agile is often guilty of not doing that - the "cookie-cutter property". But importantly, I've found that a refined agile process saves more work than it costs, by figuring out what doesn't need done before doing it, and prioritizing immediate value over future value. It's very important to be able to say "This is good enough for now, but we know it's not good enough for the future". It keeps the perfect from being the enemy of the good. Likewise, it's important to be able to say "Well, I guess that didn't work", and have it be an integral part of the process. Without process, you have no guidance over what wrong turns you took and what those wrong turns cost.
