Agile software development is no longer a domain occupied solely by trend setting, trail blazing software shops, it has made the jump to the mainstream where it is being practiced in nearly ever industry and by every size of organization.

With its wider adoption, the underlying principles of Agile are often lost by teams, resulting in what we call ‘Cargo Cult Agile Teams’. These Cargo Cult Agile teams seem to do all of the right things, using all the right terms, but do not experience the amazing resulting benefits that other Agile teams do.
