Re: Are you Agile?
I agree with ComradeRob. How the hell else are you suppose to design programmes? It really baffles me. It's selling common-sense. It's probably worthwhile if computer scientists have been forced to write software in a really, really stupid way, using UML for everything and using the waterfall model to an extreme (but I always assumed that wasn't a methodology per se but just what you told management) for example, and they need to be retaught how to be clever again.
Re: Enterprise software.
I've never understood that term either. I assumed it's what you use when you want to sell things to corporations who want feel they're special. I.e. Look we've turned on a few features (or more likely, we've turned them off in the desktop version). It seems like a marketing trick to me. It's certainly what they do with OS X.
You could say it relates to scalability. But to be frank, if a piece of software isn't scalable and robust it's just not a good piece of software.
