So You Really Want to be an Agile Developer?
-
What does is mean to be an Agile Developer? Where does that path lead? I’m wondering how many developers out there have ever had the opportunity to find out. And for those – few, I suggest – who have, did they like it as much as I have?
From faux Agile to full-on Agile, and all the steps in between.

I really did not care for my experience with Agile. The company was just moving to Agile, I was a new employee and their previous development team had jumped ship (taking the majority of the domain knowledge with them); leaving only one developer. Stack on the learning curve of the new system, the newness of Agile methodology for the team; and ever changing requirements with a rock solid date to get the product to market, this was a nightmare. Looking back, I believe that the company had problems keeping a talented IT staff and their attempt to adopt the Agile methodology did not help their cause
