I'm my experience, the irony is that Agile is agile about everything except itself. Companies adopt scrum, after reading a book or worse hiring consultants, and try to follow it by the letter without applying any intelligence or taking into account that one size rarely fits all. Personal anecdote from working at the largest ISV, which went gung-ho on scrum such that careers called scrum evangelists were created, engineers and engineering managers became scrum masters and the program managers, jobs that should have become obsolete to an extent as scrum mastersv take in lots of those responsibilities, started doing who knows what. But of course anyone saying anything against the scrum was a dinosaur.
