My main take after practising Agile and Scrum for a few years is that there is more in Agile than Scrum. For Scrum to work you need to enrich it with other ideas.

There are less than 20 authors in the manifesto, go check what they were up to. Next to the management framework, there is a lot of engeneering techniques and ideas. A sibling comment talked about XP whose technics work well along scrum, but there is also clean code, refactoring, crystal methods, agile as a cooperative game, liberating structures, devops (no, not the job offer),...

They all had blogs (archive. org is your friend for some of them), wrote books and gave talks. I like to get lost on http://wiki.c2.com/ where I found lots of insight about how to make the thing work. So yeah, I think it work pretty well when you learn how to use it.
