It's not however the panacea I often see it espoused as by PHBs in training who've just read a book about it. If you're developing new software, and have access to stakeholders at short notice and often, it's great. If your product replaces existing software with which it cannot co-exist, and you're dealing with a large (read slow) customer, it's not really the answer. It does have a lot to offer in regards to managing a small team, even when operating on a BDUF sort of project. And there's something in there for every manager.
