Do Agile & DevOps Work Together (part 2)

This question comes up a lot.  People ask if "now that we have DevOps do we still need Agile".  Or "Does Agile work with DevOps", "Should they be separate teams or initiatives"?  In this week's video blog we will try to answer these questions with a quick though exercise.
