It seems to me very apt, pragmatic, and even wise re bureaucracy and organizational politics. It also discusses necessary changes in organizational structure in support of the new self-organized teams.
I'm interested to hear what you and others on this list think of it.

Hi Chak,
An Iteration/Project Manager's role surely becomes tricky when the team is striving to self organize themselves. But, one word of caution, this should not take away the aspect accountability. Sometimes the team can get carried away with collective ownership which is where the aspect of an IM/PM becomes useful.
Asking the right questions coupled with good constructive feedback can actually foster team learning and more self organization.
I blogged about some examples of the same here http://blog.anandvishwanath.in/2009/05/building-accountability-in-agile-teams.html
Cheers !
