Not sure what “agile” projects you are talking about, but SCRUM doesn’t advocate writing documentation.

Also SCRUM has a concept of Definition of Done, which can include writing the unit/functional/integration tests related to your task.

Also SCRUM recommends to have a human tests that your task is not bugged before shipping (that’s the job of the PO or the tech lead).

That is the theory, then there is the actual practice on software development battlefield.

Since when is this an excuse for not exhibiting courage to adhere to the framework? Scrum was built on experience, not theory anyways.

What courage are you talking about?

I just stated a fact about how many companies state they do agile, SCRUM or otherwise, while reality shows otherwise.

For those companies, the definiton of done is management slideware.

Which is exactly the main theme of Foley's talk.
