Challenges in Agile Unclear project scope, multiple iterations, minimal documentation, early and frequent testing needs and active stakeholder involvement all demand special and diverse skills. Agile projects do not necessarily have comprehensive documentation. Product requirements in Agile are often captured in the form of user stories. The ability to collaborate and communicate with all stakeholders is an important part in quickly understanding the requirements. One of the biggest challenge of being on an agile project team is that the software is always changing. With new code being pushed into the test environment daily, the system under test conditions becomes a moving target. Dealing with that kind of change can require different approaches to testing, with different skills, tactics and tools.
