  pure marxism has never tried! if only we try the pure version it will work better! Marx had some good idea, communism stinks. Agile manifesto has good ideas Agile stinks. Maybe not as bad, but let's move on

    I've found a direct correlation that the more closely a workplace conformed to the Agile manifesto, the better it was to work in. It absolutely does work in practice, and where it doesn't work I have always found specific, actionable places where they were doing it wrong. At some point you do have to actually spend 5 minutes to try to understand and follow the methodology - I don't think there's any methodology that claims you can ignore everything it tells you, do the oppsite of what it says half the time, and it will still improve your organisation. (Unfortunately I haven't found any correlation between how much an employer talks about Agile and how closely they actually follow it)

  I know you're being somewhat flippant but if agile shaman blame team for not doing agile right team should throw agile shaman off nearest cliff and find somebody who's not doing that job as some kind of dodge... too many self declared agile coaches and scrum masters out there who have no idea what they're doing - it usually starts because the organisation gets their first feed of them and agile through a consultancy who just tells them what they want to hear rather than they reality, and the senior management usually can't get out of that headspace.
