I think you'll really enjoy these two talks by Allen Holub, which align very well with this article:

The death of Agile and #NoEstimates or skip to #NoEstimates End Summary

In summary, the death of Agile is that Scrum is basically the antithesis of remaining agile (lowercase on purpose). You can't respond quickly to customers and have locked sprints. You can't remain agile and have silo roles.

NoEstimates claims that you can't estimate and you shouldn't even try. You can project once you've started and you can prioritize so you know you're always working on the right thing. Beyond that, just work based on priority (and ruthlessly prioritize) and get stuff done.
