We have "Agile" today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development

I make no comment

I run software teams using Agile methodologies - its not a proscribed path - think of it more as a smörgåsbord of techniques - pick and choose the ones most appropriate to your project.

The process, correctly implemented and run, works well. The problems normally seen are when only lipservice is paid to the process and there is no buy-in from those involved.

Used it for years - only way to run big projects - the traditional "waterfall" methodology is largely discredited, certainly in the financial markets.
