This document summarizes and comments on David Anderson's presentation at Agile 2008. It raises questions about whether Agile can scale to the enterprise level, if its focus on development is too narrow, the origins and evolution of the Agile Manifesto and CMM frameworks, how Lean fits into Agile approaches, whether Agile developers could be seen as resistant to change like the Luddites, and what the strategic vision and business opportunities are for enabling agility across organizations.
