Technically, they're keeping it all in the box.

Agile doesn't
You could have stopped there, because that sums it up nicely.
It is a dirty little secret that complex enterprise solution projects fail more than half the time, often to the tune of 8 figures.
Agile won't save you from failure in these cases. Complex enterprise solutions by their nature require significant effort to get even the basic scaffolding up, and by the time they get to a scale where certain classes of problems become evident, you've already sunk quite a bit into the project. This isn't moving GUI widget from the left corner to the middle and something Agile is good at, but changing a data structure that is layered throughout 6 sets of services, for instance, one or two that the modeler may not even be aware of. This is where enterprise and data architects live and earn their pay, or fail and go to management to repeat their failures.
