In my experience Agile is most prevalent where the engineering culture is the weakest. When engineering culture is strong and effective, it's unnecessary. Where engineering is simply the business side's bitch is when you end up with a massive multi-tentacled PMO organization attempting to use their Agile hammer on anything vaguely nail-looking, cheered on by Chief Revenue Officers and Heads of Product who love that they have a direct line to individual engineering teams... Without any of that pesky engineering leadership getting in the way.
