i've seen exactly 0 of this type of projects you describe in corporate multinational environemnt (or any other for that matter). in any non-agile corp i've been, projects are usually a mix, where analysis doesn't finish when dev starts, testing is ongoing with dev, just shifted a bit. and when these projects go fubar, it's usually caused my forces far away from delivery team. rarely, it's really fault of team not delivering, but agian, situation is so complex and uncontrollable, that putting everything and everybody (including all stakeholders) into agile wouldn't probably make a big difference in go/nogo call. agile approach brings quite a few aspects that developers like and they just feel right (or at least better), but frankly, it's overhyped. just another tool/approach to certain set of situations, in certain conditions

> i've seen exactly 0 of this type of projects you describe in corporate multinational environemnt I work in Pivotal Labs. I happen to be working on such a project with one of the world's largest financial firms. Across the hall from me is another team working with that company. Behind me are three teams working for a retail giant, in front two teams working for a large insurer. In the same office I've seen everything from iphone scroller games, to startup apps, to microservice migrations, to entire product categories, being created this way. Collectively, Pivotal Labs has helped develop thousands of products for hundreds of clients with a collective business value in the billions. I invite you to visit any of our offices to see it for yourself. Email me: jchester@pivotal.io and I'll set it up.
