Please do not aim to replace Agile, you'll just be creating new problems. Go back to the basics of the Agile Manifesto, understand where your organization fits in the problems that it aims to fix, then overview the different solutions proposed by various methodologies, pick and choose the ones that address the biggest problems that you're facing and adapt them for your own purpose. Start small, as each solution may introduce some processes and distract from the actual mission. Augment only when necessary. You're Agile.
You don't need to buy entirely into a single methodology. When people say Agile in software today, they really mean the Jira-flavored Scrum. Some now claim that they've abandoned Scrum and you hear more about Kanban. Sometimes they really are switching, other time they're really just doing Scrum with a Kanban board. But again, they're often falling into the same traps of forcing solutions, rituals, and processes they might not really need into their flow.
You want to be Agile? Start small. A simple checklist is a good way to start.
