I've long called Scrum the Project Manager's Full Employment Act 1996-2019.

Every single Scrum project that I have directly observed has failed to meet at least half of the agreed-to objectives and/or deliverables by the time the plug was pulled. That drops to <10% for the non-Scrum agile projects I've observed or participated in over the last 15 years.

Agile, yes; Scrum, not without inexhaustible resources (including schedule and customer patience).
