In working with over 30 companies, I’ve seen 7 common big FAILS in agile software development processes!
These are so common, but so easily avoided, and they have little to do with whether you’re doing kanban or scrum.

- Measuring output over outcomes
- Not holding retrospectives
- Not releasing completed work
