Yeah, agile is not really prescriptive about much; it's just a way of thinking about how to get a handle on the risk and complexity in delivering a product that your customer will find useful.
Unfortunately, Scrum, a major framework that's built around those ideas, is also kind of, uh, syndicalist. It requires a lot of worker control and self-organization to pull off well. XP ("extreme programming"), another framework that's more prescriptive about the engineering practices than the project management side of things, also suffers from this problem.
