Agile got consultancied to death. If you look at all the certification courses and what not that have sprung up around them, barely any reflect the values of the agile manifesto nor teach you how to design processes and organisations with those values in mind.

When most companies say agile, they mean sexy waterfall. That’s not to say that doing waterfall on a monthly cycle doesn’t have benefits over doing it on a yearly cycle. It does and it’s a good starting point. But that doesn’t make it agile.

DevOps has the same problem. To the point that there’s now companies that “do the devops for you” completely missing the point of it all. But at least the company does devops now. We’re back to 90s throw it over the wall and early 2000s outsourcing.
