Dangers When Adopting Agile
According to Siddharta Govindaraj, there are five main dangers to be aware of when adopting agile processes:
- Unfamiliarity
- Top-down thinking
- Culture Change
- Incomplete implementation
- Silver bullet syndrome
Out of the five listed I partially take exception to number one and four. For example, number one is easy, pick up a book and try. Give yourself some credit, you will be able to figure it out. And number four, I believe that it is ok to do it partially (however, I don’t think it is ideal). In my eyes, doing any part of agile is better than doing nothing. Moral of the story, pick up a book and just give it a try. If you find yourself having problems, adapt and change.
