I've known it to work, but only when done properly. As one of the main consequences of doing it properly is that you can eliminate a number of irrelevant and obstructive layers of management, it's uncommon for management to allow it to be done properly. So most of what gets described as "agile" is actually an utter bastardisation of the concept, designed to make it seem as if things are being done in an agile manner while ensuring the continuation of the sclerotic processes that prevent anything much being done in any manner whatsoever. -
