Sounds like you haven&#x27;t worked in nuclear energy, surgical medical imaging devices or the auto industry.<p>Agile is designed to get a product to a customer, rapidly and adaptively. But this is mostly useful for software that stands alone; you can&#x27;t always rapidly adapt microcontrollers, bone drill burrs, heavy turbines and optical sensors. Even if you could make a &#x27;quick hack&#x27; to one, there&#x27;s 50 standards to reassess, and if one fails, you have to go back and re-do your change.<p>The OP is right. There are problems that require longer term, complicated solutions that have to be designed first, approved second, and implemented third. An agile MBA is not dumb; they just don&#x27;t all work on the same problems.
