> I'm willing to believe that a particular implementation of the Agile manifesto has failed, but agile is really just a set of common sense tenants which do not enforce a particular way of doing things.

I agree. Agile seems to be widely successful, both in practical terms (it's widespread and the dominant methodology in the industry) and in formal terms (it's specified as requirements in institutional organizations in place of waterfall).

Claiming that Agile failed has vibes of Yogi Berra's "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."
