We have a... well, some random dolt with a VP or director or some similarly overinflated title, but no meaningful role who explained that you should use "agile" method when: 1) You don't have time for planning 2) You don't have time for design 3) You don't have time for documentation 4) Requirements are changing Which to me meant, "You use Agile(tm) methods when your project has already failed."
