No, it's not what you're thinking... at least it's not about an article or anything like that. Here it is... In the earlier works on User Stories (Cohn, at...
I know I'm chiming in late. This is a fun thread. "Ticket" reminds me of terminology once used in multiprocessor scheduling theory. It may have been taken from...
No need to visit them all. Just the ones that need to be effective... Also, there is a lot of really bad software being written for really bad reasons. We may...
Avi, ... Yes, and if I could visit all of the development teams face to face around the world the way that Santa delivers presents... I would. I don't...
Yeah, I hear that is possible in most dynamic languages these days. That's what makes scrum so powerful as a framework. ?!?!? Thanks Mark for this extremely...
Charles, I just can't help myself here... ... Shouldn't //your specific// experience be telling you that, ummm... "The most efficient and effective method of ...
I hope there will once be a programming language invented where "if (* == true)" will result in a compiler error. Best Markus ... -- Dipl.-Inform. Markus...
Hmmmm. I think this thread is being taken a little more seriously than I originally intended. I posted on Friday afternoon expecting 5-6 responses and a a...
And yet.... in Geek#: ========================== if ((!You.AreInConflict())||(You.JustWantSomeIdeas()==true)) { // // TODO: // // If you can't convey the...
Welcome Dale. The trends around SOA are certainly interesting. Having spent (or perhaps wasted) one of my jobs building a services layer before any real client...
Welcome, Dale. I think you'll find this group quite interesting. Quoting Gene Spafford's 1992 description of Usenet: "Usenet is like a herd of performing...
The real problem I have is that the ticket, token or item or invitation is not what it's about. It is about the conversation this token represents. But I can't...
While to some, this must be really important to get right... I don't really see the significant difference between the two. If you use a piece of paper, call...
It is customary in these Yahoo Groups for new members to post an introduction. Here is mine: I live in the Washington DC area, have been in the software...
I'd say, stick these items on the board as tasks so that you can get back to them. Or create specific tasks for them in Outlook. Sending out minutes for every...
As the guy who probably made everyone think that I thought this a waste of time, I see the value now. And the discussion is quite interesting. -- Bret Wortman ...
Hi Charles, ... I think that's just fine. First, because you get to write what you want, and second because "token" is a perfectly good word meaning a thing...
FWIW, I've always used 'placeholder', as in, "a story is a placeholder for a conversation." That's mostly what I hear, though I've heard 'token' on rare...
A token sounds like some small pretend money used to play games that cost too much if I were using real money. A ticket sounds like something missing its...
"Placeholder" seems more neutral, non-polarizing, and worth the extra syllable. So that's how I explain story cards to newbies. I steer clear of "ticket" cuz...
You could release what you have and the let the users give you feedback. Adjust accordingly. Conversely, you could wait until it is perfect and every word is...
