Question

I’m considering running a project using the Agile methodology but the project is roughly 9 months work for 6 developers. Is this project too big to run under as Agile?

Obviously ignoring the risks associated with running the first Agile project on this size.

Thanks,
Mike

Edit

Thanks for all the answers. I have no experience of Agile neither do I have a Scrum Master or anyone with much xp. My original thoughts were how to run an agile project as I haven’t architected the system yet. So how do I run a team on a project which doesn’t have architecture when the project will last 9-12 months.

Clearly I need to dedicate more time to understanding the principles before I dive in.

No, it’s not too big at all. However, your question to me seems to imply a kind of casual approach to methodology choice and perhaps an unfamilarity with Agile generally, or you wouldn’t ask it – which Agile methodology were you intending to use? Have you experience in that or in other Agile development approaches? How are you proposing to train peoole in what to do?
