The biggest problem I have with these practises is that just following them would be counter to what good engineering is — basically like the old saying: "If all you got is a hammer..." As an engineer I like to insist on the right to decide which approach is the best for any given project. I am not saying there isn't a ton of good lessons learned in the foundation of those practises (there is). But for every project one has to talk about how to organize it best and that depends on a ton of things only some of which are technical.
