The Technical Writer vs. Agile Development Methodologies

["Kevin McGowan" <thatguy_80 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Hi all,

Is anyone else out there struggling with a development team determined to 
use Agile Development methodologies? I'm trying to research on what the 
ideal role for the tech writer in all of this Agile madness.

In one of our courses, we actually had a trainer say something to the effect 
that end-user docs aren't a concern in agile... I know that's not exactly 
the best way to say it, but it seems that Agile methodology may well be 
suffering with a bias (intentional or not) against the tech writers who must 
keep up with all the Agile-ness to create end-user documentation.

I'm curious who out there has been through this. We're sorting out our roles 
here, but it's been a bit of a battle to get it all straight.

Kevin
