Agile in action - Lesson I've learned from business is their agile practice is, basically, keeping everything in email, i.e., Microsoft Outlook; design and functional specs in Microsoft Words; data in Microsoft Excel, and attach the doco and spreadsheet into the email ...

OMG that sounds like such a disorganised approach. Nothing about the agile methodology means being disorganised.

Agile != Lazyness

Being lazy by taking short cuts and implementing bad practice is not being 'agile'.

Not only once, I argued and prompted that Wiki should be the first and only place project team, including project lead, business analysts, architects, developers and testers look for information and resources that helpful and useful, not only for your benefit but also for other people involved in the project.

Email and the Microsoft Words and Excel in its attachment is one dimension and a disorganised way keeping the information. The least efficient or no penetration.

Email is dead in next few years is on my wish list. There are a lot better way connect people to communicate than email, for example G+.

So Google, watch my mouth and listen to me carefully. I really want you kill Gmail in your thing to do next :-D

+Terrence Miao I've already started using Google Plus as an email replacement. One real bonus is that you can edit your email after you've written it :-)
This produces mixed results depending on what email address you're sending to, but it's a good start :-)
