One size fits all never works in reality.
Jira / Kanban works for some projects while Waterfall works for others. Some projects need high levels of governance while others move faster with low levels of governance. Some projects can get away without time-commitments, but others have dependencies and must hit deadlines, and this must be tracked.
And just because GTD is great for managing my personal workload, doesn't mean that it's great at coordinating the work of 100 people.
(I say this as a person that generally believes in Agile, is a huge proponent of GTD, and have also been on a dev team where Agile and Kanban was applied where traditional Prince2 would have been a better fit).
