Intrinsic Quality versus Testing

KANBAN and Scrumban - who has tried it and how has the experience been? (Rene Rosendahl, Kelley Blue Book) +1 on Kanban, including other continuous flow practices such as naked planning, designing value streams, etc. (Paul Hodgetts, Agile Logic)

Evolving (that is, breaking down and adding detail) user stories--Real-world examples. I've got a couple I can share, from high-level feature to iteration-ready user story. Maybe others can bring examples, too. And bring some puzzles too--big stories you weren't sure how to break down into two-week iterations. (Ronica Roth, Rally Software)

How to fill PO/PM role? The one-PO-per-team model doesn't always tell the whole story of how we go from vision to iteration plan and then manage the release of features. I've seen several models or patterns for how to fill the PO role. How have your companies solved the problem of how to define value, manage backlogs, and support teams? (Ronica Roth, Rally Software)

Architecture and Design in Agile Processes - When, how, how much? How do we do it incrementally to evolve systems? (Paul Hodgetts, Agile Logic)

User Experience Design in Agile Processes - How does the full stack of Ux, from User Research to Interaction Design to asset creation, fit into the agile framework? (Paul Hodgetts, Agile Logic)

Sprint injections - many teams struggle with injections into ongoing sprints and saying "no" is often not a feasible option. How can one recondition the organization and Product Owners to make sprint injections the exception and not the rule? (Rene Rosendahl, Kelley Blue Book)
