I have refined what I posted on my blog about what it means to be agile and I initially equated it with the amount of documentation one writes. I still believe that to some degree. The Story and its documentation is key to all projects and I appreciate your post on this, thanks.

[...] Undoubtedly she needs IT support. Here comes more inefficiency. Whilst a similar technology may be used by another part of the business, it does not entirely meet her requirements. So a new product is built. Throw in outsourcing and inefficiencies are abound. It is not in the interests of the vendor to strive for simplicity. (Read PG’s excellent analysis of the problem with outsourcing IT). [...]

Great summary! Quite objective.
I have one question related to the “How are the stories organized ?”
When you organize your stories on wiki, what do you put? The status, priority, any other?

Hi Prashant,

I reached your blog hopping thoughtworks blogs.
One thing relevant to this post is as below.

I visited Israel for client handover. In a restaurant, there were 2 rates – one to eat here & one to take out. Take out was a little less than eating there.

I asked my colleague, what is the reason for such a thing?
He said, in the lunch period, lot of people come to eat out & there is no place left to eat. So, people who want to sit in there, pay a little more. Others who don’t want to pay a little more, take it with them.

This way, it had some space available when new people come in to eat. And, they get the choice of whether they would like to eat there or carry.

I agree with you. The point I am emphasizing is that cycle time is not the most important metric – business value & customer satisfaction is.

Of course, if you know what you are going to build, emphasis should shift to increasing productivity and turnaround time, but not at the cost of figuring out what the customer really wants.

regards,
Prashant
