Agile was introduced as a less-rigid and more efficient alternative to waterfall-like processes that were widely used in the 90s. The new methodology was quickly pre-empted by middle managers as a new power tool, Scrum mostly replaced Agile because of all the weird cargo-cult rituals and sexy names. My experience with it has been widely negative. People staring at the void during "standups", bullshit amplification, ticket misuse and misread by management. Never seen any improvement from it, only overhead and demotivation.
