Abstract

A ”smell” is an observable symptom of some underlying problem that can be perceived either by direct observation of the work flow or team dynamics or by examining trends in project metrics. In this workshop, we will explore common smells in agile processes, some suggested by the facilitator and some contributed by participants. We will use various root cause analysis tools and techniques to try and discover the underlying causes of the smells so that we can identify the appropriate corrective action in each case.
