The article says that agile is a big-enough tent to encompass waterfall development with standup scrum meetings. No way. No way. You can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the evening, you are still dating a pig. I lived through the waterfall era, where upwards of 90% of large projects were seriously over budget, seriously behind schedule, or outright cancelled. A colleague at the time told me he had worked on a $10M projects that ended up $1B over budget. No that wasnt a typo. Fortunately, I wasnt a party to any of that nonsense.
