Simplicity is key. Funny thing though, simplicity. Much harder to achieve than complexity. By the way, simplicity is not only key to service orientation. The same goes for model driven development. Just wrote a white paper on pragmatic model driven development (but structured) that ends with Einstein's words: make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler. I've seen highly sophisticated model driven development projects fail miserably, and on the other hand I've seen oversimplified model driven development project that also fail.

If simplicity is embraced as a fundamental architectural concept, then SOAs and Agile Development can complement each other nicely and the combined effort can invigorate the business. However, this will only happen if the discipline of simplicity is taken as seriously as the disciplines of SOA and Agile Development. - @RSessions The key that ties these two approaches together is simplicity.
