The devil is in the details. The problem is the cargo cult that goes with Agile. You can take any example that works and say "this is Agile!". But in practice, what happens with Agile is that some people come with their book that they treat like a bible, and try to apply it without question.

I have had teams where we were communicating really well, but still we had a 40min standup everyday where we would basically say "as you already know, <blah>". Still we were doing standups, because the bible says we should. We could have used that time for a coffee with the team instead.

I have had teams where people were working on very different things, so nobody would listen to the others during the standup, and during the planning, it was 10 times a 1-on-1 with the team lead because nobody really cared about the tasks of the others. Everyone but the team lead was losing their time. But the team lead found it useful (obviously).
