Agile PLM (was RE: Doc version control - in-house

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

Well then.  That is probably what will happen locally... when 
they get a 'round-tuit'.

I'll just sit back and wait for it to roll downhill...   ahem.

But, all seriousness aside, does anybody have any suggestions 
as to what I should look for, or what I could usefully 
request BEFORE they start to roll out whatever configuration 
of Agile at this company? 

When I'm doing stuff on my own, I prefer the old adage:
"It's better to ask forgiveness than permission."

But when something is about to be done _to_ me, I like 
to intervene _before_ it gets cast in stone, in case 
there's an opportunity to head off anything that "looked 
good on paper" but is a pain for those who have to live 
with it, in the trenches. 

Any gotchas?  Any options that can go either way if you 
don't know what to expect?
