Taking a "purist", big bang approach to Agile is not a viable option for most development organizations, especially large enterprises. The most successful deployments of Agile are tailored to the context, strengths and limitations of the organization and are transformations over time, not overnight implementations. The challenge becomes defining a process that minimizes risk and takes an iterative approach to Agile migration, allowing acclimation to Agile principles while accounting for the constraints of Agile 'in the real world'.
