NFRs play a very important role in any project [Whether Agile or waterfall]. They help us design the system architecture. ... I'm not too sure if this is true....
I don't think it is a good idea to separate the implementation of functional and non functional requirements. Non-Functional requirements needs to be taken...
Hi All, Next NAUG session will be held on 20th Nov (Tuesday) in Gurgaon. We will have two presentations as follows: 18:00 - 19:15 Introduction to eXtreme...
I do agree with Venkatesh. It is not a good idea to separate the implementation of functional and non functional requirements. In our case, NFRs like...
Hi Aniket, I agree with your view on NFR being a part of the story doneness, however there are 2 things which interest me in your post 1. What is VV&T? 2. Why...

As you know, we have just finished a series of events. [Conferences and Workshops]. We received excellent feedback from the participants and from the folks who...
I agree with KD. Most of the projects I have worked on, we did not consider NFRs at each story level. Usually NRFs are cross-cutting. Mostly they apply across...
Hi Naresh, I like the idea about grading of stories instead of doneness. How and when do you decide that your story is ready enough to be moved to production? ...
