Before beginning any project, senior leadership needs to understand and bought into the project, the results, and the money budgeted for the project. Based on my experience, if you do not have this “buy-in” from senior leadership the project will have a higher probability of failure.

Ensuring all the stakeholder who are participating in “the project” need to be communicated and educated as to the rationale of the project and expectations defining success. This is one reason the use of Agile teams or supporting tenets can help in the successful executions of projects.

Would you agree or disagree about the use of Agile teams in project management and why or why not?
