...And a plethora of newly hyped old ideas contributes a lot to software development failure: the misunderstanding of things like "extreme programming", "agile", and other rather ancient development methods (with shiny new overhyped names) and their consequent misuse does a lot of damage.In my opinion, it is the misapplication of all these techniques (including both agile and waterfall) that causes the most issues.
