Hello, Petteri. On Thursday, February 1, 2007, at 1:21:39 AM, you ... My point is that crash-test dummies WON'T do the work, and humans will. Therefore there...
... Have you seen the latest models of crash-test dummies? They are quite sophisticated. They actually do quite a bit of work in the service of their jobs. ...
Hello, Jared. On Thursday, February 1, 2007, at 5:11:11 AM, you ... You're getting close to my point, Jared. The assertion was made that the only user stories...
That's really interesting, one of the primary reasons to go for agile methods is to provide better, more concrete feedback so that the customers have a better...
