There's more to software gardening than agile

My experience has shown (and talking to others, I'm not alone in this) that companies who fail at agile either 1) don't have management buy-in or 2) claim they are agile, but they're not doing things correctly.

>Maybe I will attend. (Actually I will). I don't subscribe to the agile methodology. I worked for one company that was committed to agile and it was a joke. Even the manager I reported to said this is ridiculous. We all want shorter development cycles but TAANASFAFL. It really means running on your gut instincts. Not exactly architectural.
