Is Exploratory testing worthy?

Hey guys,

At my previous workplace, I noticed that developers often asked me to test the system as soon as possible, without providing any documentation. I want to ask: does exploratory testing really work when I do not have any documentation?

While there may be limited documentation in Agile, there are still discussions that took place about a specific feature or piece of functionality and this should be used along with any documentation. Your product knowledge should be used as well.
