Not an Agile issue, but a "people fucking up Agile" issue. The priesthood of MBAs will adopt whatever terms people like and just hammer them into place to keep doing the same old shit.
I have experienced this but I think that's the fault of the people implementing it.
For instance, I have been in a 4-person team where the daily meeting took 30 minutes and people often rehashed discussions they had on the previous day. I have also been on a 10-person team where the meeting took 10 minutes on a bad day
Oh totally seen it work myself but I don’t know that it was agile that worked as much as they had a kickass team.
Some teams just jive well. They communicate, they know what each other is doing, and they can plan with minimal waste. And when it’s successful that’s across all roles not just the devs.
In my opinion those teams would have succeeded in waterfall, kanban or their own home brewed strategy as well.

Agile in it’s current implementation with excessive meetings wastes more time than the mistakes it tries to avoid.
