There are certain parts of Agile that can definitely apply to non-IT projects. I highlighted a few examples in the article below:

Applying Agile in Your Waterfall World
http://www.gantthead.com/content/articles/249660.cfm

This is a software example using a Waterfall SDLC but some of the key management concepts around communication and scope management remain. The daily stand ups, focus on incremental delivery, and relying more on communication than reams of documentation can be accelerators for a project.

Thanks!
