Agile is fine if it is an organic, bottom-up process. And as any of the founding Agile gurus like to profess, this was the original intention.

We went from semi-annual production deliveries to monthly ones. Management didn't skip a beat -- they pivoted to new and innovative ways to push against the guardrails we built for requirements, approvals, agreements and deadlines. In this case, neither agile nor Agile were the issue.
