It is the whole idea that we can wrap Agile software development up in one neat little package that always works. As the for page, I don't see YMMV anywhere on the site. I'm not saying that this is _the_ major cause of un-agile Agile. I'm just saying it is a sign. For people who aren't familiar with Agile this could be misleading. That's all. Its not the page.

The fact that you can make a diagram of the "Agile Work effort" is bizarre. But I guess that's why there's so much money in Agile and none in pliancy. Here’s another sign that Agile is not agile.

Are you shocked? Well, you shouldn't be. I've been using cvs for years and never had an issue with it. It suits my work fine. I don't need to switch to svn because that is the Agile thing to do. And I'm not the only one. <a href="http://www.infointeractive.com" rel="nofollow">Former colleagues</a> of mine still use cvs too, in large part to the lack of cvs module support in svn. (I don't want to get into a debate here, but svn:externals is not a replacement for cvs modules.
