Do not try to do True Agile, only try to realize the truth. There is no True Agile.

To me, Agile is really a set of principles to help you decide what to focus on (e.g people over processes). The different methodologies (scrum, kanban, etc) are just frameworks to help you build the best dev process for your team while trying to keep the agile principles front and center.

In reality, all kinds of factors get in the way of True Agile - experience of devs, team dynamics, company incentive structure, management expectations, management’s management expectations, how the company handles failure and the subsequent ownership vs finger pointing, etc. The actual implementation of Agile should be different for each organization because the environment in which they operate in is different. With that said, there are certain core principles and practices that are very beneficial across the board and consistency across teams within an organization certainly helps.
