I think a lot of it dependent on management. If you have a good product manager, software architect (or whatever) who can have things solidly designed before sending it to development, agile works great. But if the people writing the cards suck at their job, well then the project isn't going to go well.

But then bad management is going to suck no matter what methodology is used.

You're right on. We have some good expertise left over from our previous methodology which was both waterfall and siloed so bad feature documents don't cause too much problem, but once our expertise retires (and we're not makeing new experts as the silos were removed) the features will need to great to get decent products

And bad management is the biggest thing to make a job miserable
