An Agile implementation might fail for several reasons:
1) Change is not the same as transformation - transformation requires committing to new outcomes, while change maintains the status quo.
2) Formal leaders may lose consistency in applying new collaborative processes.
3) Informal leaders acting as "laggards" could resist the changes required for Agile.
4) Pursuing total consensus slows decisions and prevents diversity of ideas.
