I am reading some posts, discussions, articles and a lot of articles are "Why agile fails", "when agile fails"
I need help because for me agile does not fail, it only is not suitable for some projects. What is happening? :)
Agile frameworks are various, flexible, and compatible frameworks for some project, for some they are not. Working on an energetic, ngo, software development projects, agile never failed.
I see it fail mostly when
Most of the articles I've read on Agile failures have all sorts of interesting reasons expounded in them, but when I think about them, most come down to "well, we didn't understand this part of it, so we didn't do it".
