1: The agile methed focuses on iterations to quickly produce functional software, rather than tackling a whole project at once. Results are valued over the process.
2: Agile is probably so popular in the software world because both the developers and the clients are more satisfied with the process. Breaking a project down into managable iterations makes development less stressful, and quickly produces working software that the client can review.
3: Agile seems less appropriate for hardware-based projects, particularly allowing last-minute changes from the client. The specifications and functioinality of a rocket cannot be changed 75% through the process. Software is more felixble.
