Teams with poor communication will communicate poorly more often.  Developers that don't code well will break the build more often.  Defects will be injected more frequently and quality issues will be everywhere.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.leadingagile.com/2009/01/agile-doesnt-fix-anything.html">Agile on the other hand is noisy and chaotic... it will bring all our problems to the surface early.  It will seem like agile is causing the problems when it is merely pointing them out.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.leadingagile.com/2009/01/agile-doesnt-fix-anything.html">Agile WILL put you in a great position to identity those things that needed to be fixed anyway.

While agile isn't going to fix anything for us, it can provide a way to see that gap and position us to do something about it.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/487B07CF-B93F-4E20-9F63-8B1FE6AEC0BB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
