It's been almost 9 years since the agile manifesto was first drafted. There are thousands of signatories of the manifesto and the list is growing. Yet, at the same time there is growing disillusionment and criticism about agile practices coming from experienced agilists. Some have even announced the death of agile. Is agile really dead? If so, who or what killed it? Are we merely going through the motions of last decade's great software idea?

Alistair Cockburn, one of the original signatories of the Agile Manifesto, has put together a great non-formula for dysfunctional agile teams called "Crystal".

This talk discusses a few fundamental mistakes that are prevalent in "agile" software development environments; why these practices are killing agile and how Crystal can save it.
