Current Employee – been working at Disney as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – Our team supported and communicated with each other. QA learned from the developers and developers learned from QA so that the sprint could be delivered on time with quality.

Cons – Agile is still evolving. The effort was divided among many groups, and coordination delivery of interlocking software made environments very unstable.

The reorganizations and loss of key people because contracts expired made the effort challenging.

Advice to Senior Management – Study what worked and let the teams find their own strengths and solutions.
