I found a paper that talks about the Hype cycle for Agile methodology. It scares me that Agile is close to the "Trough of disillusionment". All the more because my Software project management role is all about implementing the Agile processes and integrating it with the heavy weight project management processes!
A new idea or technology hits the trough when the early adopters realize that the idea after all is not as good as it the initial expectations. It's like the bubble bursting on Agile! You can find some more details about Hype Cycle here http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1047223059457664714#editor/target=post;postID=638745433126602063;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=16;src=postname
