I try to work to a guideline of being as agile as possible,
and as robust as necessary, when tailoring process.
Any process that follows this guideline (and 3 others)
I call an 'appropriate' process.=20=20

I would be happy refusing to call a process 'agile' if it
were more robust than necessary.  I'm in two minds as
to whether a process that is only as robust as necessary=20
should be denied the label 'agile' for that reason alone.
Maybe I need a few examples to consider.
