I think the term Steve should have used is "creative" finance. Well, I do have to admit that agility in finance enables users to be more creative instead of just the old fashioned "credit on the right, debit on the left". :)

I like to think it more of being able to make frequent small adjustments to better obtain the goals set up in the macro scenario. Agility without first setting up a clear goal and continuously remembering it, tend to lead the project astray and allow people to do stupid things. For example, if a programmer do not have a clear grasp of what he is to program (and do not have test cases to test the result), there is a tendency to just get a bunch of useless codes. Likewise, building a agile system without knowing having a clear idea of what the system is suppose to do, allows people to make a mess. :) H.Ozawa
