It's designed to mitigate _delivery_ risk, not _organisational_ risk.

I would probably argue that Scrum (which I barely consider to be "agile") is more resilient to inexperience, and therefore lower risk. It's the McDonalds of processes. You're not going to get amazing results, but it will still operate despite hiring a bunch of inexperienced people into it.

FWIW, I've seen good Scrum and bad Scrum. The company I work at currently actually does an amazing job with Scrum. Cases like these help me have faith in Agile as a whole.

Previous companies? Oh boy...
