  1. @whitebarrel the typical story format (in order to... as a... i want...), estimate, owner
  2. @jgboghos @johnboghoscares? ;)
  3. @ShawnWildermuth Discovery should blend a little more into delivery - continuous discovery and continuous delivery.
  4. @ShawnWildermuth yes. and iterations are meant to give you that course correction feedback cycle.
  5. @drusellers I'll write a short (probably equally incoherent) blog post.
  6. i've seen that work well. rendering knowledge into action, that is.
  7. or perhaps an initial iteration would yield solution-oriented stories that are up front estimable.
  8. the problem then comes around estimation. i think that design-to-schedule would work fine here...
  9. @orangy I wonder if certain dev teams (creative ones) wouldn't do better with problem context / research going into innovation work.
  10. @drusellers I'm mainly wondering where, in a lot of places, where the "I want <feature>" part comes from. Does anyone know?
  11. starting to think if we're really focused on understanding problems and innovating, user stories (as they exist) aren't the best solution.
  12. @jeremydmiller So here's some context: I'm dealing with a system where the only trusted source is the DB. No objects in memory.
  13. @Ben_Hall oh, you'll know it when you see it.
  14. protip: make sure your architecture allows you to introduce caching in sensible locations.
  15. Looking for feedback on a conference track idea (http://laribee.com/creative-analogs)... Please RT!

  17. @jeffdeville that's too bad. the iterative/incremental thing really does require buy in all the way.
  18. @jeffdeville when are they asking you to do this extra stuff? if it's way out in the future, it's likely you have big bang planning going on
