About Feature Injection

Feature Injection has been my favorite will-o'-the-wisp over the past month or so, starting from the point where I discovered that the "founding document" for the concept is a set of photos of Chris Matts's moleskine notebook which he wrote on a plane and uploaded to picasa in 2009. I'm still digesting the ideas, which I was completely unable to read in photo form, but was further able to track down as a set of comics on Agile Journal as follows:

Episode 1: getting all the information before you commit in code
Episode 2: determining project value
Episode 3: minimum set of marketable features
Episode 4: identifying variants
Afterlude: How FI fits into Business Analysis as a Knowledge Management Process

When Chris says to allow readers to "pull" information, rather than "pushing" it on them, he's serious about it! I hope it doesn't mess with the system too much to have links to all five posted in one place.

Here's another helpful link which includes the five comics plus an introductory essay: http://www.lulu.com/items/volume_66/7362000/7362946/3/print/lulu_word_comic_vFinal.pdf

I've also blogged again on this topic with more info: http://pagilista.blogspot.com/2011/11/bdd-feature-injection-and-fallacies-of.html

How Do You Vote Someone Off of Your Agile Team?

One of the conundrums of agile conversion is that although you are ordered by management to "self-organize," you don't get to pick your own team. You may not have pictured it this way, but your agile team members are going to be the same people you worked with before, when you were all doing waterfall! I know I wasn't picturing it that way for my first agile team, so I thought I should warn you. (I thought I was going to get between six and eight original Agile Manifesto signers. That didn't happen.). Why "warn" you (as opposed to "reassure" you, say)? Because the agile process is going to reveal every wart, mole, quirk, goiter, and flatulence issue on the team within a few hours. In the old days, you could all be eccentric or even unpleasant in your own cube, communicating only by document, wiki, email, and, in extreme situations, by phone. Now you are suddenly forced to interact in real time, perhaps in person, with written messag...

A Corporate Agile 10-point Checklist

I'm pretty sure my few remaining friends in the "small, collocated team agile" community are going to desert me after this, but I actually have a checklist of 10 things to think about if you're a product owner at a big company thinking of trying out some agile today. Some of these might even apply to you if you're in a smaller place. So at the risk of inciting an anti-checklist riot (I'm sorry, Pez!), I am putting this out there in case it is helpful to someone else. From http://www.yogawithjohn.com/tag/yoga-class/ Here's what you should think about: 1. Your staffing pattern. A full agile project requires that you have the full team engaged for the whole duration of the project at the right ratios. So as you provision the project, check to see whether you can arrange this staffing pattern. If not, you will encounter risks because of missing people. Concretely it means that: a. ...

Requirements Traceability in Agile Software Development

One of the grim proving grounds for the would-be agile business analyst (henceforth "WBABA") is the "traceability conversation." Eventually, you will have to have one. You may have seen one already. If you haven't, you may want to half-avert your eyes as you read further. It gets a little brutal. But if you close them all the way, you can't read. From: http://www.highestfive.com/mind/how-to-perform-a-successful-interrogation/ Dialogue: WBABA : ...so in summary, we complete analysis on each story card, and then we support the developers as they build it that same iteration! Corporate Standards Guy: but how do you do traceability in agile? You have to have traceability. It's broadly recognized as an important factor in building rigorous software systems. These software systems permeate our society and we must entrust them with lives of everyday people on a daily basis. [The last two sentences are an actu...
