He's got a point, "Agile" has turned into micromanagement that makes us look like children.
"agile" is a buzzword that gets people out of the institutional inertia and hurt feelings otherwise associated with a push to rebuild software development process. Whether the or not the outcome of an "agile" restructure is the true One With The Tao agile is not the point of the buzzword.
