Agile fails when folks don't adjust and tailor the process to the specific needs of their team or organization but instead try to cargo cult it.

so it's called agile when it works, but not when it doesn't, got it!

You gotta understand how to use a tool for it to be effective, yes.

		And if a tool is that difficult to use, how can you tell if the problem is in the tool or the user? There's a large industry built around doing training and certifications in agile methodologies now. If a tool is that difficult to get right, maybe it's just not a good tool to begin with. To be fair, the manifesto and methodology is quite good in theory. But I just have never heard of(or experienced) it working properly and the response is always that it wasn't implemented correctly.
