• an IT project is more likely to be unsuccessful than successful
• about 1 out of 5 IT projects is likely to bring full satisfaction
• the larger the project the more likely the failure

• Hire a good full time coach
• Involve both design and testing
• Co-locate as much as possible
• Adjust the length of sprints for every project
• More customer focus
• Involve more business stakeholders
• Work more on responsibility, auto-organization
• Be aware of the change, it’s hard
What would you do differently?

• Agile cannot be implemented top-down only nor bottom-up only. Agile needs to be a grass roots effort that has executive level sponsorship.
• Don't cheat and never ever let a sprint go past its time.
• View coach and customer as KEY roles and ensure the right people are in these roles.
• Don't sell Scrum as the dogma.
• Make sure everyone involved in an agile effort understands the Agile Manifesto's Values and Principles
• Forget about "scrum tools". Use a real physical whiteboard and super-sticky post-its.
• Don’t forget the communication is everything.
• Attend Agile conferences.
What would you recommend ?

Agile needs culture…Any method to be adopted must be essentially compatible with the culture.
If the culture doesn't support or embrace Agile, it will never work as a process.
Agile changes culture…At the same time certain cultures will be very difficult to change – i.e. heavy, authoritarian, top-down cultures. Maybe not impossible, but it could be close.
