Well, I don't know if that's fair: most of the places I've worked at that claim to use "Agile" methods were participating in a kind of Cargo Cult. In other words, they thought they were jumping on the popular bandwagon, but if you examine what they did and compare it to what the Agile et. al. stuff was supposed to be, it's not that.

So what you're saying is that they didn't do real Agile, right?

Well no. If you make a pancake and pour chocolate sauce on it you can call it "cake" but it's not cake.

No true Scotsman would have misunderstood me.
