"Agile" works, but "Agile" is not a set of rules to follow. "Agile" is a chain of conscious decisions made by a team. "We have sprints" is not "Agile". Neither "we use Jira", nor "we have retros". Term "Agile" has been stolen from us, butchered and it's dead body had been turned to scarecrow. And now all those "agile couches", "agile offices", "certified scrum masters" are dancing around it's corpse. But there are some of us, who worked in truly agile team, we witnessed it in it's glory. We remember when it was alive. If you worship Cargo Cult, you aren't doing "Agile" despite the name. Period.
