OTOH you may have misunderstood the ability of large and bureaucratic 
organisations to stuff up any project by putting it under the control of 
a semi-competent manager to buttresses his ignorance of the methodology 
and impresses his bosses by managing the crap out of it. I've seen this 
effect in action in government departments (HMCE as was circa 1990) and 
bastard offshoots of government (Cable & Wireless HQ in Hong Kong around 
the same time). The latter was incredible: internally it fit all the 
stereotypes of Whitewhall in the 1950s right down to the tea trolley, but 
I digress....

Question: How do modern Agile Development methodologies differ from 
their, presumably, ancestral Scrum and Sashimi approaches to development?
