Death to Agile

In this blog post James Shore expresses a bit of concern about the bad reputation agile has gotten as a result of "malpractice". If I read it right, he feels that this reputation will lead to the baby being thrown out with the bathwater:

Whatever we do, we need to do it soon. Agile is failing all around us, and I'd hate for the failure of the fad to take down the truly useful ideas that we started with.

To tell you the truth I can't wait until "agile" dies. I am sick of it.
