TL;DR: Agile is silly but has some lessons to teach. Most people do it wrong though. Make decisions early and stick to them. Talk about effort not time. Make stories about users. Treat bugs differently to stories (they are on average all the same size, are written from a different perspective, etc.). Abandon stand-ups, steal things from SCRUM and Kanban, and don't talk about deadlines, ever.
