> Agile is assuredly garbage but having every development company use the exact same process and terminology is too valuable to give up.

But...Agile doesn't involve that. Even when the same words are used, they don't have the same meaning, often, and the substantive processes even within vaguely Scrum-ish methodologies vary widely.

What has been said so often on HN, AGILE started as a great tool that turned into a cult with no knowledge of why the things being used were being used. Its terminology and practices became mysticism and ritual, with common sense thrown to the wayside.

There are exceptions, but in far too many companies AGILE has become a religion that slows the workforce down with high priests who insist that their ritualistic practices be followed and their tithes be paid =[
