A recent widely reported article claimed that the failure rate of agile projects was 268% higher than for projects that applied the opposite of agile. Agile practice is by no means perfect, but the so called research that backed these claims was full of holes and disinformation.

In this episode Author, and long time agile proponent and practitioner Dave Farley attempts to debunk the nonsense and better understand what really works.
