I'm not so sure. The results I've seen come out of more the more informal planning game / release plan seem to be very close to the kind of results I've seen come out of more formal activity theory based modelling. For me the thing that's missing isn't so much the design process - but the expertise/values in UCD related fields and the practices. If you have people helping make the business value of user experience issues more obvious to everybody involved agile processes work well (in my experience anyway). No design? I’m not so sure.
