a buzz-word, I’m afraid. Implies lots of jumping about and short attention spans. Proponents of so-called Agile development methods are evangelistic about the benefits of agile techniques. If you need time to think about your own agility, ask them: how many bridges are constructed using agile methods? That should buy you some breathing space. Of course. agile business is a reasonable ambition – so long as it is not achieved at the expense of resilience and rigour.
