For me the goal of Agile, especially in giant 100+ yo organization, is to tell people that it's less important to fit the plan than to fit the need of the external stakeholder. Who cares if 6 months ago some important managing director signed off on a useless feature nobody wants anymore: kill it now and move on, we're agile. This is literally the only way I've seen used agile in big orgs: in words only, and it's liberating: we stop spinning endlessly between useless features as the clients move on faster than us, now we can actually skip a beat and go faster, and screw the paper pushers bemoaning that "everything changes". Because yes, everything changes.
