Agile software development is the _solution_ to the problem of clients not knowing what they want and developing a piece of software that isn't military, medical, space, aeronautic, nuclear, mission-critical embedded or some other hardcore stuff.
That is wrong.
The area has nothing to do with it.
Agile actually means what the word implied to mean: being agile to change direction, up to canceling the project if it is clear we are going nowhere. Fail fast, fail early, instead of burning a lot of money and time.
Has absolutely nothing to do about the segment of the software development.
And web development - seems to be an anathema for "real developers" - certainly does not really require any "agile" mind set. Because it is rather simple and there are no challenges that imply that you have to adapt "agile" to.
