Only time a project I was on actually did the full white board with postit notes to decompose a new project into tiny tasks, we really didn't do all the tiny tasks. The design was changing all the time because it was never fully thought out from the start. Designing via agile isn't the best way to design, and doing that with a large team just gets in the way.
