    I’m curious what they mean by “failure.” I read the article but didn’t get a clear definition. Isn’t one of the expected outcomes of agile the ability to experiment rapidly and move on when the experiment fails?

    So what if you fail 300% more? If you’re able to get 300% more ideas to the stage where you can test their viability, then it’s a success.

      Exactly. Agile is basically guaranteed to deliver something.

      The real question is how fit-for-purpose is the resulting product.
