My work place is very archaic when it comes to software development. Essentially all projects are forced to use a waterfall approach requiring immense paperwork.
I've always been a fan of agile development and recently was approach by my manager asking for me to help him put together a proposal to some of the managers/directors to try to preach the benefits of Agile.
Like stated the target audience is the managers and directors where I work. Many of them hold to the mantra of "If it's not broke don't fix it".
I've found numerous case studies, instructional pages and all sorts of resources online however there are a few things I'm missing.
First of all is there a good resource for the type of documentation that is typically done with an agile process? Our QA manager is a stickler on documentation and unfortunately is likely to ignore the whole concept if he's not happy with the quality/amount of paperwork that is done.
Secondly are there any large companies (fortune 500 type size) that have publicly available information on their software development methodologies (specifically if such companies are using agile)?
