Failing Early is seen as an advantage in the Agile method. Failing early gives you the opportunity to recover and see small/hidden failures and resolve them as fast as possible. All projects start from the RED status, and have to work to the GREEN status, this is beneficial in that regard.
Failures can be both big and small in nature, and it’s important that both be given equal measure. Especially for aspiring, dedicated Project Managers.
