Isn't this a sign that "agile" as he is defining it simply isn't working? More importantly, why is this a bad thing? We don't really think that this process was "the" process that would stick for the next hundred years, did we?

When Gandhi was asked what he thought of western civilization, he replied: "I think it would be a good idea." I feel the same way about the widespread adoption of Agile methods. What most people are doing under the name "Agile" bears little resemblance to what many of the early adopters used the name to mean. Not that anybody thought it would be the One True Process. As one of the XP originators says, "Extreme Programming isn't where you'll end up. But it's where you should start."
