Agile works as a bottom-up methodology only. Once the PMs get a hold of it, they figure out a way to wire their TPS-report-"did you get the memo on that? It needs a cover sheet."-thinking into it so that it's effectively destroyed. Scrum is the goto agile methodology for these people to wreck, and wreck it they have.

Consider: My local chapter of the Project Management Institute has ~7000 members. Are the even 7000 competent people in the area that can act as leaf node workers for these folks? I doubt it.
