My observations are than "agility" in most corporations mean "agile" approach to requirements, hard fixed approach to deadlines and environment or sdlc. Once I got blamed from system admins that I am late and they have extra work because client asked for change few hours before the release deadline. I implemented this but I got blamed for being late. Also in SCRUM the zealous approach to the holy 2 weeks, it cannot last 13 days, nor 15 days. It's super important to last exactly 14 days. In holy ticketing environment where you have to issue a ticket to wipe glasses. In my opinion the best and simplest methodology is an incremental waterfall with releases every 3 months ( more or less ). 3 month long "milestones" because every company does quarter reports. Additionally for status reporting Kanban boards. No damn red tape driven "agile" Scrums, safs and so on.
