Incorrect Success Criteria
LOL - Measuring an Agile projects on waterfall metrics will definitely not work.
Scope and time...
Agile is slower, it is incrimental and the benifit is not on closing a project out on budget. It is delivering value, most of the time the 'original' requirements is way off and delivering that misses the mark completely.
Agile self organizes to the best local optima (if directed by customer centric feedback cycles) it often looks less complete because everything is in a constant state of improvement with only the real important aspects evolving forward.
Is the goal a 12month signed of project with zero users or a revenue generating product that is still being worked on 24months later but had their first paying customers 6 months in?
Biting the hand that feeds IT
