Fair points, for the most part I think. To write good software, you need good people who know what they're doing. Whatever process you follow without that you're always in trouble (requirements, design, coding, testing, etc. all those need good people). What I really hate about the Agile consultants, etc. is that many say switch to Agile and the world becomes a better place. Not with bad people it doesn't. However, I think a lot of the Agile stuff can really help get the best out of the good people. For the bad people I have seen it work the opposite way - they lose the safety net of structured requirements analysis, design, etc. and end up creating a mess. Best part for me was the link to the anti agile manifesto: http://antiagilemanifesto.com/ http://antiagilemanifesto.com/
