My current experience with a distorted Agile approach is that it is used as an excuse to not have a big design. The idea is to not block on a big design UP FRONT. Not have no design at all. So the platform I'm working on now has been torn down to the foundations and fundamentally rebuilt at least twice because the lead(s) on the project never looked further than one sprint out. Somehow it is expected that an organic design will spring from nothing. Very unfortunate.
