"Agile methods" as a term has zero meaning at this point. Talk about the specific things you do to make things work well instead of lumping them under the heading "agile". The issue of people refusing to coordinate and working independently on two useless things for months at a time is an issue that transcends any popular software terminology. The role of a good manager is to see that units A and B are not in sync and resolve that. That's true in all disciplines. You can't attribute this to "agile" just because you meet every 2 weeks.
