Ziya,

My original post did not refer to "agile strategy." What I said was, it is 
not true that agile approaches exclude strategy.

If strategy is the activity of deciding how best to accomplish a goal, then 
agile methods incorporate strategy. They are all about finding the most 
efficient, effective way of accomplishing a goal. The original agile method, 
Scrum, focuses on project management and does not prescribe specific 
development practices. Moreover, agile principles can be applied to 
endeavors other than software development.

Back to the Agile Manifesto on the Agile Alliance site (which does focus on 
software development), it says:

"At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, 
then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly."

Is this not a strategic behavior?
