      Agile is a methode, but when it is taken as a religion... fail is not only expected but deserved.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Dr Junade Ali, author of Impact Engineering, said: "With 65 percent of projects adopting Agile practices failing to be delivered on time, it's time to question Agile's cult following.

        "And the truth will set you free." If that's how they're judging failure I'm really going to have to read about this Impact Engineering and how it is that it manages to figure out an appropriate timeline for an undefined and undefinable deliverable which is what I think 90% of the world deals with... "We'll know it when we see it".

          And then you have the king of Agile - SpaceX. SpaceX has used Agile methodologies for the Falcon 9, Dragon, and now Starship. In doing so they've beaten the pants off the legacy rocket industry.

            At the risk of sounding trite, I’d say that’s the difference between a company using Agile correctly, versus a company that’s doing it because an exec heard it was good.
