The document discusses reasons why Agile implementations may fail and how to create an environment for Agile success. It suggests that inconsistencies in practices, culture conflicts, resistance to change, skills gaps, and lack of leadership involvement or sponsorship support can cause Agile to fail. However, the key factor for success or failure is the environment where Agile is being implemented, which can be complex, complicated or chaotic. Elements like governance, education, inclusion, cooperation, information flow and developing a growth mindset are proposed to establish an environment that enables Agile to succeed.
