Agile methods are often applied wrong and then are a disservice. There is no one-size-fits-all method to manage people and teams. Leadership naturally buys into those method as they are promised an easier life, but there is no shortcut to management and leadership. It's always situational.

At my (very large) company Scrum and SAFe is applied to all kind of projects. Even to manage organisations with highly heterogeneous responsibilities and workloads. Think of 2 people doing dev, 2 conceptional work for various larger projects, 3 are basically consultants for other orgs, 4 are data analysts and 1 is doing some spreadsheet work all day long. Now our manager had the great idea to manage us with Scrum.
