Adamya, I am in that very position right now. I have been asked to come on board an agile project where the system is exceptionally convoluted and I am denied the privilege of training for the purposes of understanding the system. The justification behind this is that the BAs want a 'fresh pair of eyes' untainted by the system, it's habits and behavior. I feel mislaid and am amalgamating to the best of my abilities my craft with bits and pieces of the project. I'm trying to devour as much as I can simply by listening to the team speak. I have been told not to try to understand the system and that the system will 'snap' with me in due time (9-13 months or so). Even after reading Jared's opening statement and requesting and justifying the need for the company's business model, it has been denied. I have never been in a situation like this before, but my very presence seems to be a source of inspiraton for the company. I'm asked my opinion on everything and to justify data- which I do, but I feel like a blind man leading someone with sight. Any thoughts? Anyone?
