Agile is good, I'm all for it. When we were a small company (before being acquired) we basically did that sort of development intuitively without actually being aware of Agile buzzwords and process. Now that we're part of a larger company, Agile is probably even more important ... *if* done correctly. OK, thanks.
Yes, many people "de facto" practiced methodologies of Agile without formalizing it - it was simply part of their M.O..
I tell people I'm agile with a little 'a', not a big 'A'. The world has enough big 'A's around. :)
Most people who practice Agile have good common sense, but I've heard some Agile-istas say some off-the-wall things at conferences, enough to remind me of the famous medical quote..."the operation was a success, but the patient died anyway"
