I think it'll only work if the people paying for the product want an agile project. And that they understand agile to mean the same thing as the engineers. That is to say to small deliverables within a short period. Review the small deliverable with client, make adjustments, then repeat until final product is done. Basically get things working a small piece at a time. Change directions if needed. Don't boil the ocean. What usually happens is that the clients take "agile" to mean changes on-the-fly AND quick delivery of final product. They also usually prefer the waterfall deadlines, because then can line things up for Q2, Q3, etc. I think a big reason for the disconnect is the word "agile".
