Sure it doesn't work anymore, humans have innate ability to corrupt any outstanding ideas and agile is now finished. Post-agile was already formulated like 5 years ago. The only source of progress in humanity/tech is a few folks that work on radically new and effective ideas the "corruptors" can't yet understand, giving them time to do something of importance. Once these "corruptors" catch up, it's over for that given area. Agile is also very flexible, so anyone can put its sticker on a BS du jour and stay safely within bozoland, never achieving anything and preventing others from accomplishing something as well.

Indeed, agile and its brother XP are pretty awesome concepts and ideas but have been heavily corrupted by well-paid "motivation experts" and "efficiency consultants". Business loves making money on the back of people who don't understand a new concept well enough. I, like you, am sure that won't ever change.
