Would you prefer the centralized planning model of waterfall? Of course none of these systems are perfect, but it's been a major step in a better direction for everyone involved.

What i would prefer, is to take a step back and look at all major interest partys involved, who will deform the development process. If management puts to much pressure on, a good process would give tech and the customer more chances to counter said pressure, to avoid tech debt and badly implemented features.

I want a process that reacts to the situation, in favour of the product, in favour of longterm goals - who actively resists people who try to gamble it for whatever reason. Agile is not that.

"Agile" is a set of principles and values as defined in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. If how you work contrary to those principles, then you simply are not "Agile", no matter if you call it that.

"Agile" will never fix bad management, nor will anything else for that matter.

I am not convinced that this is true.
