The Agile Manifesto principle that I am going to pick in the principle of "Embracing Change."
I think this is likely to have the biggest impact on the success or failure of a typical project in my organization because change is the constant in modern-day business. Probably, since the inception of the modern-day industry.
In order to be successful and maintain that success over the years -no matter the conditions- a company has to be ready not only to adapt to change but to change ahead of necessity.
