No innovation required. Moving away from the dogma that underlies Agile is. It is necessary to think more "lean" and less "agile", adapt the process to fit the team, not the other way around.

Adapting the process to the team is exactly the spirit of "agile". If you switch to a different word like "lean" then shady consultants and vendor snake-oil salesmen will just come along and corrupt it the same way they did "agile".

In reality there isn't a lot of dogma underlying agile. For example, agile has nothing to do with CSM's, story points, Jira, velocity, "sprints", etc.
