This. So much this.
Especially this bit:

Agile isn't about having standups. It's about having fast feedback, so that you can react to what you have learned. If you don't have that, you don't have agile, no matter what process you have in place. (For that matter, any time you are trying to do agile by a rigidly defined process, that's an oxymoron.)
