Lessons Learned from a Failed Attempt at Distributed Agile

What do you do when you have endured an Agile experience where things didn’t go so well? You can abandon Agile altogether or you can take those lessons learned and apply them to future Agile projects. This paper discusses the journey travelled from that painful experience to becoming a more confident and experienced Agile practitioner. We will also look at some of the challenges that I still encounter today.
