Although Agile has proven to provide incredible benefits in software development and delivery, it is not foolproof, nor a “Silver Bullet” when adapted quickly and adopted without consideration of potential issues.

Plenty of factors need to be considered
Before attempting this highly disciplined approach.

With anything new there are going to be difficulties. What starts out a small test with a pilot team leads to a huge bandwagon affect.

This is great but some band-wagoners get nervous when the problems start and ultimately become the naysayers and finger pointers that can kill Agile before it even gets a chance to provide benefit.

Top Pitfalls That Lead To Agile Troubles Include:

• Self-organized team function
• Poor Product Owner performance
• Lack of adequate training and coaching
• No change management plan
• Lack of executive support
• Inconsistent business unit support

Learn from the mistakes other organizations have made and discover which pitfalls to avoid to ensure that your first attempt at applying an Agile approach will be met with a successful outcome and keep the band-wagon’s wheels here on earth and avoid the bubble burst when expectations are set too high.

Ultimately Agile success requires an organization to do some creative destruction which leads to inefficiency and confusion for a period of time.

Be prepared to weather that storm by preparing your sponsors and management with an understanding of the problems you will face on your road to incorporating Agile methods into your organization.
