Allowing for Agile Failures

by Jim Highsmith

While agile practices improve the odds of success in many situations, neither agile practices nor any others are silver bullets. There are situations in which projects will fail, regardless of methodology. For example, one of the Agile Manifesto principles is that people are more important than process. If this is true, and I believe it to be, then the best agile process, executed by the wrong people, will probably fail to produce acceptable results.
