Agile is refreshing concept that is changing the way people think about software development. There are numerous books, articles, and consultants all telling us about the benefits of agile, how to be agile, and how to transform ourselves into the new millennia’s agile software organization. So what really happens when those wonderful agile concepts you hear about hit your environment? An environment that is probably nothing like the nice tidy examples presented in those books, articles, and by the consultants? This is where “Telling Our Stories” fills the gap: real practitioners telling their real experiences on real agile projects. An experience report is the story behind a lesson learned, some hard won bit of knowledge that may apply to you.
