Agile methods are people stuff. Agile is just another management strategy. Standard engineering design breaks projects into discrete steps, it's not at all unique to Agile. Doing that is essentially the definition of "work breakdown structure". Course correction time is built into Gantt charts. Engineers have had to deal with constantly changing requirements, minimal development time, etc, since long before software came around. They're further constrained because you can't just ship a patch to a bridge or plane after it's completed. And yet they manage to get reliable, functional work done! Agile is management with ADD. Waterfall is a straw man process that no competent organization would use.
