Agile Can Make Your System Fragile (if not implemented right)

Agile if not implemented in the right way can make your system Fragile. Often when teams implement Agile they get very busy trying to implement the standup meetings, retrospective meetings, etc and teams are in hurry to get the stories accepted or completed but they keep inducing lot of defects to the legacy code since the developers and testers wants to test only the story, but not the impacting areas. Also teams can potentially not have a measurement of the stability of the legacy features and keep on building more features and accepting stories. This can lead to a very fragile system.  The spirit of agile has to be understood more in depth before actually implementing it.

Agile Software Methodology Requires a Mindset Change While Implementing it.

Agile Requires a Mindset Change

Several Years back as a Development Manager when I moved to Agile Model, I could not appreciate Agile and could like it initially since I did not understand the spirit of Agile and did not have the  Agile Mindset.  Many companies adopt Agile and teach team members and ask them to practice Stand Up Meetings, Story Wall Creation, Retrospective Meetings ,etc and find that in the first project they are not actually getting the benefits of Agile. 
          Agile Requires a Mindset Change in terms of how you view requirements, how you thin slice it, how Stories are created, how you do with less design and code it fast and complete the story so that you can make faster working software, how you do customer demo to get customer feedback quickly, how you learn fast by doing retrospective at short intervals and much more.  The real benefit can be obtained fast only if the team members are taught to learn and practice Agile with an open mind and what are its goals so that they can tune and Synch to the spirit of Agile. The word Agile means "Fast". Your team will get truly Fast Results if team can be trained this way.
