Serge Beaumont Xebia explains why failing a sprint is good:
"Agile does not solve your problems, it just makes them painfully clear."
This is the essential element of Continuous Improvement, be it Lean, Agile, or whatever: Failure enables Learning. Only by exposing failure can we improve.

This is also why ITIL has processes for Problem Management and Error Control. They allow an organisation (team, department, company, or enterprise) to inspect its own practices and improve on them. This is why Agile is the Lean approach to software development.
So let's all fail, frequently... and show how we learn, recover, and improve.
