It's worth pointing out that there are quite a few organizations that
have traditional software processes that are effective and efficient.
It's interesting to wonder whether some of the perceived success of the
agile methods is due to their replacing chaos with an approach that
they can pick up faster than traditional methods.

That is, I wonder if an organization with a mature software process
would gain as much from agile methods, or whether some significant part
of the gain is from process maturity.

Put another way, what part of agile methods' benefits come from the
methods themselves and what part from the fact that they are easy to
learn (compared to traditional methods that have an extended
institutionalization period).
