It would be nice if the interest were driven by a desire to produce better products. But alas, I feel it's being driven more by the perception of being able to do more with less. As in "If we implement Agile, then maybe I won't have to hire those seven new developers that IT says we need".

Based on my 25+ years of development experience, most upper level management won't understand it, and will constantly be complaining about having two (or more) people working on a task at the same time. I can see the emails now "Dave, why do you have two developers sitting side by side working on the same thing? Couldn't you get twice as much done if they each worked on something separate?".
