The question is no longer. "Will Agile Work?", but "How do we implement Agile in our organization?"; and, for the purposes of this presentation, "Do agile processes address quality issues that many organizations face today?"

At Agile 2006 in Minneapolis, experience reports included such topics as the "Cost of Code Quality", "Agile Metrics", and "Embracing CMMI". All of these certainly sound like quality issues! Methodologies like Lean Software Development talk about eliminating waste, building quality in, and creating knowledge. We will explore some of these ideas in a little more detail.
