In fact, agile has been extremely successful.

It's the people that claim to "do agile" that invariably don't do it. But software development used to fail most of the time, and it doesn't do that anymore.

What makes you say that it has been extremely successful? And when you say doesn't fail anymore, do you mean it doesn't go over budget and/or changes scope?

It used to fail once after a long time, now software fails a lot every 2 weeks.

Waterfall was also extremely successful.

People who failed just did it wrong. /s
