Agile may be the vogue word of the day, but for designers an Organic or Parametric approach would make more sense. Agile does not ape its industrial antecedents as espoused by Deming and Shewart or the Toyota team, so why should design seek to ape agile as espoused by Beck, Schwaber, Cockburn and the other signatories of the agile manifesto? Jesse James Garrett might make a better starting point as might Tim Brown of IDEO.
