Have you heard any of these statements? “As a manager I will have no control or visibility into my team’s activities with Agile!” “Agile practices are unstructured, everyone is a cowboy!” “An agile development team doesn’t work from requirements, and testing goes out the window!” and my personal favorite - “Agile means no documentation!” Ahhhhhhhhh, no wonder Agile is a scary word for managers and testers. If any of the above statements are true in your organization, then someone is doing it wrong. I am here to tell you from personal experience at a number of clients, both large and small, that none of these claims are true if you are truly following the tenets of Agile. Actually, these statements reflect a situation that is really the OPPOSITE of what can happen on a mature, well-functioning agile team. In this presentation, we will discuss what Agile really IS, and debunk some of the popular myths that make organizations hesitate from adopting Agile into their organization.
