Go back to the origin of Agile: https://agilemanifesto.org/

It works well if you don’t treat it as a religion full of ceremony and dogma. If you stay focused on the results, the idea that process is a tool to make better products is quite effective. If you treat the process as the product, which it sounds like you’re suffering from, it will hold you back - and that’s really saying that your organizational incentives are misaligned and don’t reward success.
