The word Agile has become so loaded that if you want to side track a meeting just mention you will be using Agile. Nothing else of value will be discussed in the meeting because people will either vigorously object, support it or argue on what exactly is Agile. This brings me to your statement: > Agile, how it differs from common sense Thank you for mentioning common sense. No one size fits all. I have never followed one methodology to the absolute T. I borrow from all the methodologies I have read about. I use KanBan boards I learnt about at a Agile workshop but don't have daily scrum meetings. I have SLDC like development plans but never hesistate to meet clients to seek clarity when needed or even to show them what I have done. Sometimes I show them final product at the end of the implementation because it can confuse clients to show them a half finished product. Sometimes it is possible to show a half finished product. I must confess I haven't read the article but had to post about Agile :-).
