Yes Neeraj I m completely agree with you that now a days agile is mature enough to perform in the oragnisation.Now a days project manager has to handle multiple project at a time and it is tough job for project managers to deliver the  projects on time and within budget and most important thing is to develop a product/application as per the customer expectation.Hence project manager has to be equiped with the tools & technique avilable in the agile.
Responsibilities of Agile Project Manager has to act as facilators who would serve and protect his team so that his team would give 100% to develop quality working software on time.

Hence we can say that agile is quite mature .

Guys

We all agree to one thing, Agile is growing rapidly in today's world. Why because of quick ROI. There is no second doubt about it. But the argument is Agile mature or in developing stage it depends on which industry sector we are talking about. If we have solution framework for execution of the below points then we can call that organization mature in terms of Agile.

1) Using Agile on distributed teams
2) Team collaboration / motivation / accountability
3) How to decompose large programs into agile projects
4) Mapping the PMI Framework to Agile best practices
5) Fitting agile into the constraints imposed by the business

If one gives it a though, agile methodologies have always been there, just that they have been discouraged, besides they did not have a name and identity. There was a good reason to discourage them in past but the reasons faded away and people started formulizing what they had been already practicing unintentionally.

Agile methodologies are mature enough; otherwise we would not even be sure to call them agile.

Agile methodologies have a number of benefits particularly leading to higher ROI in many cases. However, there are situations where agile must be avoided, like defense, security, health care and banking, etc.

Well, Agile can be worked out in outsourced environmet. However as per my understanding it will be difficult to implement when you have trans national teams mainly due to time differences.

Agile is very good for all the stake holders involved. For the customer, it gives the best ROI. For the developers, focus is very much there... But whether to say that Agile is mature enough - No I don't agree. There are plenty of people who are supposed to be practising Agile but can't explain the following -

- Importance of daily standups

- Zero post delivery defect density.

- Continuous integration and testing

- Retrospectives - Are you able to derive benifits?

- Pair Programming

- Importance of communication with the customer--- Can any one dare to give the bad news to the customer? If no, then don't call youself as Agile practisioner.

Every one agrees with the advantages/benifits of Agile methodologies. But how many are actually seeing those benifits in their projects?
