Agile software development is one of the most widely misunderstood concepts in the IT industry. This episode contains my discussion with Dean Kulaweera during his #TechTalks interview on LinkedIn live.

We start the discussion off with some basic definitions and then we move quickly into answering the following questions.

• 03:16 – Can you explain what a business analyst is?
• 04:28 – What is agile?
• 06:13 – Most organizations are not a good fit for pure agile.
• 09:51 – Less than 5% of business analyst roles are pure agile.
• 11:48 – What is “hybrid-agile” and is it effective?
• 14:19 – Why do companies claim to be pure agile when they’re really hybrid-agile?
• 15:42 – Can you comment on hybrid-agile being used in most organizations?
• 16:45 – If my team developed software, which methodology do you suggest we use? Agile or Hybrid-agile.
• 18:52 – What are some of the key challenges in getting developers to move to more of an agile approach?
