GREAT QUESTION OF THE
DAY?
WHERE DOES
DOCUMENTATION BELONG?
© 2015 WritePoint Ltd. All rights reserved.
Agile Documentation Issues
Sprint members and roles are clearly defined
Documentation?
With the current sprint
Next sprint
Independent of the sprint
With each deployment?
© 2015 WritePoint Ltd. All rights reserved.
Agile in Documentation Means
Regular releases covering new features
Being part of the Sprint team meetings (?)
Constant review of product status
Release Notes – way more often
Feature sets
Fewer per release
Sometimes releases without features at all
Less time for everything…interviewing,
understanding, documenting, reviewing
© 2015 WritePoint Ltd. All rights reserved.
What Agile Meetings Are Critical?

Scope meeting
Pre-planning (what’s supposed to go in)
