I feel the need to respond here, but I really don't want to. Anyway... The core of Agile is that it values: - Individuals and interactions over processes and tools - Working software over comprehensive documentation - Customer collaboration over contract negotiation - Responding to change over following a plan Agile also has 12 development principles: 1. Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable software. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even in late development. 3. Deliver working software frequently (weeks rather than months). 4. Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers. 5. Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted. 6. Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location). 7. Working software is the primary measure of progress. 8. Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace. 9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design. 10. Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential. 11. Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams. 12. Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly. So now please check if your company is doing this or not. If you say "We're following most of that, and it really sucks", then we can have a valuable discussion. But if you say "We're not following that and it really sucks", well then why are you arguing that Agile doesn't work?
