The Standish Group's findings on project failures have not changed much since 1994. Like you, I think that applying Agile development techniques is one way to improve your project success rates. I recommend that you spend some time in a future article describing agile development a little more including how the team works together to prioritize the features to be developed and how iterations or sprints are established. I'd be happy to contribute to that or co-author an article with you. Happy holidays! Anthony Mersino Paul, great article and a topic that I believe is timely.
