The agile world contains a fair amount of zealots. People that are happy to tell you that you are not doing agile correctly and base that decision on some small difference in process. Some of these people base their statement on a belief that they have found the one true way to develop software. Some people seem to base it on the belief that you can make a lot of money selling the “one true way.”

It has been my experience that the two groups most likely to struggle with agile development are those who want it to fail, so that they can go back to the old way of doing things, and those who are most rigid about agile (or some variant) and insist on doing agile in a very specific way.

Agile is based on values and principles, as such it makes a poor candidate for a religion.
