The different roles and personas, from executives, to testers, and everything in between, are all required to deliver value. While the Agile manifesto declares that we value ‘Individuals and Interactions’, the communication between the different roles is often encumbered, sometimes with process and sometimes with contention. The panel will be a candid conversation, with audience participation, between different roles and levels of experience about how we all contribute to ‘working software’ and ‘helping others do it’.
