These two comments seem to get at the heart of the issue. Agile is an
approach to software development, while our focus is the larger
development of the product. In my experience the latter becomes agile
when the team takes a craft approach: the designer and technician are
the same person, or at least tightly coupled teams (6 or less people
building the same parts at essentially the same time). Anything else
inevitably involves some waterfalls.
