Thank you, what i am hearing is you see this more management driven initiative in your context.
If anything, it seems to have tailed off a little. Yes it is very popular with developers for software development projects, but I seem to see fewer of those projects & more focus on rolling out off the shelf products, which tends to be less suited to agile.
Also, cost control is a higher priority lately and agile has challenges where budgets are fixed up front.

What i hear is you are more on fix price and fix scope projects and you find it less useful in your context.

I have seen a raise in awareness. This has led to flexibility in choosing the best approach for a particular initiative, in this case, Agile. As the frequency of this choice increases, formal standards are following suit. Not ideal, and a bit backward maybe, but in the end, the goal is for successful implementations.
I see more and more projects using "Agile" as a term but then not so much in practice. Maybe I'm just a stickler.
I do see a lot of new teams building new products in our organization using (what I would call) proper Agile practices and many of them have been successful.

Cliff, you beat me to it!
I hear the word "Agile" more and more, but that doesn't mean companies are actually transforming.
Many organizations have adopted a few random terms or practices, then given up and determined that "Agile doesn't work." In reality, they were never Agile, and never committed to the cultural change that's required.
Definitely so. It's been a massive change that has risen alongside the new buzz words adopted by the customer or management on how they want to work and company strategy.

The problme is Agile becomes a buzzword and there are a lot of confussion outside there. Agile is not a method, Agile is not (and not started with) software or IT related only, Agile is not a life cycle. I am leading my seventh initiative to implement Agile at enterprise wide level. So, I see around the world more and more organizations using Agile and Lean principles, behaivors and way of doing things (both are not the same) from strategy formulation to implementation. And that does not mean that those organizations are using an Agile method to do that. Do not loose the opportunity to learn about Agile by searching USA DoD NSF/Agility Forum deliverables. (I have the opportunity to write a short article for PM Network).
