  • Abstract
    Many agile projects are doomed to fail before they even begin. Most projects fail not because of the technical ability of the team, but because project goals, objectives and context have not been taken into account when forming the project plan. Further, most teams new to agile often lack the basic training required to be successful on their first agile project. Using a lightweight project initiation framework (an inception deck), combined with an agile boot camp, teams can drastically improve their project´s chances of success. This will both ensure more agile projects are delivered successfully, and aid agile´s adoption into the greater software community
