We never went anywhere. I had such high hopes for the agile manifesto when I first read it in 1999. "Whew," I though, "finally, they realize that software can't be managed like an automobile assembly line." Nope, they just rebranded the "manage software like an automobile assembly line" methodology as... AGILE! Don't get me wrong - the signatories on the agile manifesto did seem to understand how to realistically plan and manage software. Nobody else who read it and had any position of authority seemed to.
