That's OK, the latter is not incompatible with the former. Agile vs waterfall is orthogonal with having to commit to deadlines to deliver features.

Well often the real world forces it upon you. As in customer will switch invoicing system on September 20th, integrations have to be ready by then.
We have a lot of this, and hard cut-off is very frequent. If we ain't got all those deliverables implemented by then we will lose customers.
