ABSTRACT

Agile analysis is probably not the best term to use to describe how analysis is handled during an agile project. Certainly, the analysis itself is not particularly agile when it is under way. We don’t analyze features and requirements faster in agile development. There’s no magic formula or novel exercise applied during agile analysis that causes user stories to “stand up” and divulge all their secrets. The same requirements elicitation techniques we learned preagile apply when we work with agile development. So, the term agile analysis is more a description of the steps that we take than the effort of analysis itself.
