They are "doing" Agile and not "being" Agile.

We're all Agile now. User stories, story points, two week sprint and it's all done an dusted, feet up, surf CUK for the rest of the year.

For my sins I also work as an "Agile Coach". Don't go there.

I'm sure it's because people are doing agile "incorrectly" but I do find it annoying when you can't properly design a system because you only have part of the story.

I always found that doing a lot of up front prep (requirement/spec/prototype), along with frequent demos to the relevant people always worked better for me.

It's worse when one has a great 'Head of state' joke lined up too.
