> Often the desire for Agile comes from not knowing how to manage a project

Corporate Agile takes thr worst of Waterfall and Agile and combines them.

It frees the management from budgeting for discovery and research, which are nessesary in waterfall. They can come unprepared.

Then they demand all the things they expect from waterfall - hard deadlines, no surprises. Then thry change scope on the fly because 'its agile, right'.

Agile does more to excuse poor managment than it does to enable developers.
