Agile and Scrum?  Better think again.

By Matthew Weaver  Google+  View Matthew Weaver's profile on LinkedIn

Matthew J. Weaver, PMP, CSM, ITILI attended a conference featuring Ken Schwaber in May where in answer to my question he offered that most Scrum projects and implementations fail.  Back in 2008 he was more explicit in an interview saying 75% fail.  Yes, 75% fail:

“I estimate that 75% of those organizations using Scrum will not succeed in getting the benefits that they hope for from it.”–Ken Schwaber

 

Coming from the co-developer of Scrum and a signator of Agile, that’s a rather damning statement.
