Agile has to live with commitment

Dan North, The perils of estimation:

Agile teams I encounter are at best nervous about estimates and at worst simply evasive. “You don’t need estimates if you’re doing Agile,” they say. “It will be ready when it’s done. We’re constantly adding value so we don’t need to commit to a date.”

Dan is someone else who gets it: Agile has to live with commitment!
