  Agile methods are state of the art in software development. Companies
worldwide apply agile to counter the dynamics of the markets. We know, that
various factors like culture influence the successfully application of agile
methods in practice and the sucess is differing from company to company. To
counter these problems, we combine two causal models presented in literature:
The Agile Practices Impact Model and the Model of Cultural Impact. In this
paper, we want to better understand the two facets of factors in agile: Those
influencing their application and those impacting the results when applying
them. This papers core contribution is the Agile Influence and Imact Model,
describing the factors influencing agile elements and the impact on specific
characteristics in a systematic manner.
