I didn't mean a personal attack on you btw. Your track record suggests you know your stuff and would likely be an asset on a large/complex project. My comment is informed by my bad experiences at two previous employers - both parachuted agile coaches to "help" when the problems were obviously a runaway feature list and not enough developers. Surely, you must know of charlatans in connection with agile. I think we all need to educate management that agile is not a silver bullet or a panacea. It is a process with good and bad. Great if welded by adults but very easy to abuse by non-grownups. To many of my developer friends, agile is a synonym for daily status updates, which is absolutely not what it is supposed to be.
