Do you follow Agile processes like Scrum, Kanban or XP... and yet struggling to deliver on time, under budget and without last-minute heroics? Why aren't these supposedly best practices working for you?

XP and dev pairing
Code reviews - to do or not to do?
Pull requests - agile or fragile?
Story points - estimation or guess-timation?
