I agree that we need to start changing, and I think in some small ways that's beginning to happen. Organizational change is hard, and it's even harder when you are dealing with organizations that have high level of dysfunction coupled with an industry (software) that promoted heroism and has traditionally been about who works the longest, codes the shortest and does the trickiest things rather than about who delivers the most value.

There is no one true path to adopting Agile and which practices will work best for a given organization. It's all about context, culture, leadership, willingness to change and try new things, and much more. Hopefully we in the Agile community can get away from the "my way is better than your way" that has plagued software development for so long. That will take willingness to change on our part, however I think it can be done. Well said Cory.
