Thanks for finding my blog and posting the link here. For my part, it'll be interesting to see how roles and responsibilities of UX professionals will change with more iterative development methodologies. Hopefully, you can address this in a panel, and offer some helpful tips to those professionals who may be behind the curve.
good post!
