One place I worked the project managers where very enthusiastic about using Agile techniques. When I questioned them about it, it turned out that Agile to them meant "make stuff up as you go along". To them it just meant that they could resign all sense of responsibility, didn't had to do any planning or documentation. How great is that?
My project manager is very fond of Agile - he doesn't have to interview, estimate nor understand the schedule any more - he abdicates it to a post-standup meeting where he quizzes everybody about their cards and edits them.
Result: So now I'm doing the manager's job too.
I find it a waste of time, at least when implemented this way. The single bright spot: at least no more 2-hour rambling staff meetings!
