I spoke at SofTech, the Philippine Software Industry Association’s first Software Engineering conference. We had five hundred attendees! My presentation was entitled “Agile Myths and Misconceptions”. You can download a copy of it on Slideshare.

I discussed twelve common myths about Agile Software Development. I’ll follow this blog post up with twelve blog posts that discuss each myth:

• Agile Myth #1: “Agile is a Methodology”
• Agile Myth #2: “Agile is Just About Project Management”
• Agile Myth #3: “Agile is Short Milestones”
• Agile Myth #4: “Agile Cannot Work with Fixed Budgets”
• Agile Myth #5: “Agile is Unpredictable”
• Agile Myth #6: “Agile Means No Upfront Design”
• Agile Myth #7: “Agile Means No Documentation”
• Agile Myth #8: “Agile Will Prevent Problems”
• Agile Myth #9: “Agile Means No Managers”
• Agile Myth #10: “Agile Means Weak Control”
• Agile Myth #11: “Agile is Easy”
• Agile Myth #12: “You’re Either Agile or You’re Not Agile”
