Great idea for an article – only today a designer was saying how design doesnt really fit with the agile methodology – would be good to hear some ideas on how people have made it work

We could also look at scenarios where a UX professional is the project manager as opposed to the traditional Technical developer/Architect managing the project.
While in the first scenario, I assume it would be smooth sailing. In the second scenario, it would be a lot extra effort including selling UX to the team itself. I am not suggesting that developers do not understand UX work, but explaining the finer nuances or the need for certain UX activities is a different ball game altogether, which can greatly affect the agile development process.
