  1. Go All In
  2. Go Fast to Go Fast
  3. Ignore the Corporate Culture
  4. Fail to Identify the Sponsor
  5. Fail to Define Roles Within the Agile Team
  6. Do Not Create a Project Plan Before the First Two Iterations
  7. Overdo the Team-Room Concept
  8. Trash All Computer-Based Project Management and UML Tools
  9. Choose Your Key People Poorly
  10. Make Agile the New Religion
