I've been working in Agile environments for about 2 years, and still consider myself a noob. However, all that has been said I agree with, and in my experience, it seems to be the best approach if you are lucky enough to determine your approach.
It could be just my dumb luck, but in the two larger projects I've worked on, I've always been brought on late, and have had to fight developers, BA's and in some cases others to understand what it is I do and how important it is to the success of the product. After awhile it seems to sink in, but at a cost. This could however be in part to the inexperience of some organizations to the role of IA's. Hopefully this type of situation will be less common as the value of the position is demonstrated more and more often in the future. If you do encounter a resistant environment, do your best to prove you way, and if they are truly agile they should be able to adapt for the sake of the product and the users. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
