Traditional PM and Agile - mutually exclusive?

Agile New Practitioners Using PMI Standards

Daniela Villarroel de Rose Cologne, Nrw, Germany

I´m a PMP and PM practitioner moving into Agile. The more I step into agile and talk to peers and colleagues the more I hear "traditional PM and Agile are mutually exclusive", "traditional PM is stiff, an unflexible methodology".

I, however, do not see it like that. I believe in tailoring project management processes and methodologies and even including "unorthodox" activities according to the needs of the project.

I would like to know what your opinion on this is. Are traditional PM and Agile really mutually exclusive?, what has your experience been so far?, any stories?
