Last year, Dave Thomas (a.k.a, Pragmatic Dave) posted a blog entry titled “Agile is Dead (Long Live Agility)” in which he argues that Agile has become a buzzword – a marketing term. The opportunistic swooped in and monetized the simple concepts suggested in the Manifesto for Agile Development. His post is a great read and the video below is a great watch.

The take-away is this: there is no cookie-cutter solution. If you rely on “experts” to provide you with the perfect methodology for developing software then you’re probably going to miss the mark.
