he era of agile software development is upon us. Chances are, if your development shop doesn't already practice some form of agile development, you're probably competing with a company that does. The rapid-release nature of the agile mindset alongside the idea of releasing features incrementally and frequently inherently increases the risk of introducing unforeseen problems into the software. The charge for any development manager working in these conditions is to find such problems early and provide processes to handle them appropriately.
If anything is clear about the agile philosophy of software development, it is that it requires new and efficient processes for finding bugs early and handling them efficiently; rapid communication of problems and events is critical. These problems have always existed, even in more traditional models of software development, but longer delivery cycles made them less urgent.
