They were expressing a concern that the Agile 2008 conference structure of many stages might fracture the Agile Community into many functional sub groups when in... chrismatts 2008-06-04T11:20:10+00:00 http://abc.truemesh.com/archives/000736.html OK. So I finally got round to reading the stuff. I'm halfway through and I realised a few bits are a bit out of date.

It reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me about attitudes towards freebies.

I'd opine on anything and everything, but mainly about Agile. I stopped. There are a number of reasons.

It was obvious that "Business Value" was... chrismatts 2007-05-23T10:18:26+00:00 http://abc.truemesh.com/archives/000689.html Agile is a name. Simply that. You see a bit of land and call it "New Amsterdam", someone else comes along and calls it "New York", yet another person calls it "Mine".

Writing the acceptance criteria, scenarios, for a story is done by the business coach. JBehave then translates these scenarios into empty JBehave classes. The developer then writes the code within the JBehave classes.... chrismatts 2004-12-15T15:58:50+00:00
