No it is not, they are working instead of pointless meetings, status updates and demonstrations that they have done their work. And on top of that, no depressing graph that stares them in their face how badly they are performing.
"We're behind schedule because we're taking the time to validate our work with the users and we've caught some mistakes. So let's work longer hours to keep with the artificial deadline!"
I don't see what's 'correct' about shitting out a barely-functioning prototype every two weeks because somehow that's better than making sure your core functionality is rock solid first.
"Software is different! A civil engineer can't just build a bridge then fix it if it falls apart."
Yeah, and I bet they make sure the foundation is fucking perfect before they do anything else, huh?

"That's because you're not doing Agile correctly!"
