I think most of what people call "Agile" (big A) is a cargo-cult where they try to imitate and prioritize the very things the original manifesto[0] devalues -- especially processes and tools and following a plan. All that while devaluing or ignoring the power of individuals and interactions and responding to change. It turns out that who you hire, how they interact, and how productive you allow them to be have far more power to create value than applying certain "Agile" processes and tools.
