People or teams managing software development workflows usually silently tailor them, fitting the reality of their constraints, often outside of Scrum and Agile (despite claiming otherwise in job descriptions or developer posts)! And that's OK! There is nothing wrong with taking the best from waterfall or Scrum, or you name it, and adding a pinch of personal/novel ideas if a precept from an existing framework doesn't apply out of the box. These concepts are decades old; new tech and new constraints have arisen. People have changed. New answers are needed, or at least worth a shot. It's also OK to re-appropriate out-of-fashion concepts when those are a better fit.
The key, in my view, is to remain open to new or old ideas and to interpret and adapt dogma rather than blindly follow it.
