I think a tell-tale sign is if they apply the waterfall approach.

That won't save you at all. A lot of federal IT contracts are now written to mandate using Agile or Scrum. Many other forms of dysfunction that doom projects remain.

Didn't the guy who coined the term give it as an example of a development model that never worked?

they will say "agile", but will mean , "all requirements up front with an increment delivered every sprint".

which works very well if the developers and the customer really know what they want when the project starts.
