No.
You need to put in a lot of effort for the organization to adopt it and use it effectively , get sponsor , team and stakeholder buy in , to change the culture and mindset of people used to traditional waterfall development , to allay the fears of stakeholders who may have half baked theories about what Agile is and what Agile is not.

The only way agile can be a silver bullet is if you put make a bullet, name it "agile" and then use it to shoot any person who believes this myth.

Well Noted. So this is myth. As Deepesh explained that we need to put lots of effort for it.

First of all, to clarify, when you talk about "Silver Bullet" I assume that you are referring to "No Silver Bullet – Essence and Accident in Software Engineering" article by Fred Brooks that I recommended to read in detail because some people (I am not taking about you) use that phrase without understanding the whole article. With that said, it is impossible to think that something that has been created in 1990 and it is used from that time is a Silver Bullet. To much time for something to survive in the market.

Agile is not a silver bullet! It depends how you adopt!
