How to Fail with Agile Methods

Agile methods like Scrum don't always succeed. In fact, the latest Standish Report (http://versionone.com/assets/img/files/CHAOSManifesto2013.pdf) shows that those who report they are doing "Agile" methods are no more successful than those doing waterfall methods.

Agile methods are a means to an end - and if they don't produce better results then we shouldn't be using them.

In this meeting, we will review this report together, and discuss our experiences with both success and failure with agile methods. We will cover issues such as:

• Failure cases of agile methods.

• Necessary attributes of an organization to succeed with agile.

• Success cases and what they look like.

Join us for a great discussion around the real value of agile methods and the dangers around them.
