Abstract: At first sight it looks like being Agile means get rid of requirements analisys. For many people using agile methodology is merely an excuse for lacking documentation and analysis in the project. Indeed, once we have a rapid feedback from customer, is it really important to waste time on thorough requirements elaboration? Instead we can build "something", then allow our customer to look at it and rework it if needed.

In the real world this approach often drives to serious problems. During the session we will discuss the need in analysis in Agile and when it is needed. We will consider different requirement elaboration practices and discuss requirements management process in agile world.
