I think there's a few key points to take away from Agile ... 1. Involve end users (aka customers) in the process as much as possible, since if they don't like the end result your work was wasted. 2. Do work in small chunks. Releasing every 1-3 weeks gets changes out in front of real users quickly. The shorter your cycle the less likely you are to spend lots of time on something useless. 3. Write tests! The specific details of any agile methodology are, IMO, less important. If pair programming or TDD or stand-up meetings help you with those three points, great. If not, don't do them.
