It was actually not very agile with regards to fellow developers from different teams or clients. This, I think, actually gets at the heart of the problem. The vast majority of the problems I encounter with people complaining about agile are due to a team/process that has the "agile" label - but isn't actually following any of the fundamental principles of any agile process. Agile is suffering the curse of anything that becomes popular. For example, Scrum teams that skip the whole inspect/adapt thing and seem to forget about basic stuff like the sprint review & sprint retrospective. The sort of team that adopts Scrum by sending off a project manager for a 2 day CSM course and think that's the beginning and end of it. Bah. On the bright side fixing them has become a lucrative sideline for me :-)
