Agile is a generalized term for a group of anti-social behaviors used by office workers to avoid doing any work while simultaneously giving the appearance of being insanely busy. Agile methods include visual distraction, subterfuge, camouflage, psycho-babble, buzzwords, deception, disinformation, and ritual humiliation. It has nothing to do with the art and practice of software engineering.

He figured out how to double the battery life but since the agile practice strictly forbids thinking outside the current task, his design wasn't acknowledged. Due to insubordination he will not be receiving a bonus this year.

The ability to waste a year making a social networking site.

Pretending to write code when just copying it from else while to save time and effort.

Basically another word for someone that can use google, steal other people's work then pretend what they are doing is difficult to management.
