If you're talking about software development then agile makes sense for all kinds of reasons and the kind of dynamic and flexible scheduling you've got works - in fact is necessary because the goalposts are often being moved on you. But in other kinds of project whilst there is still a need for flexibility and adaptability in how one progresses toward a goal the objectives and the tasks to be complete can be far more clearly defined and at least some elements can be tightly and accurately estimated (subject of course to the required preconditions being met).
