The Failure Modes of Agile with Dr Junade Ali
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 40 “Agile Trashers Part 2: The Trashening” we mentioned a study titled “268% Higher Failure Rates for Agile Software Projects”. News about this study showed up in all of the usual places (Hacker News, Reddit, TLDR, Google, Slashdot, etc.) and it caused a bit of a stir. That study was published by our guest today, Dr Junade Ali.
In this episode we talk about software failure, agile, and what practices might come next.
