Agile Question 7

[admin]

Harold is a stakeholder in company A. He has recently learned that the team will use an agile framework in the current project. In a planning meeting, Harold tells the team members that they are not doing formal documentation in this project as they were doing in the previous projects. How will the team members react to his statement?

A. There is no documentation in the agile projects, they focus on the value-added delivery
B. The documentation is kept barely sufficient to fulfill regulatory requirements in agile methodology
C. In agile, the documentation is done for the clear work items only
D. Documentation is not created in agile methodology, but we used as much documentation possible to make you comfortable with the agile

Correct answer is B.

Agile Manifesto value #2 states “Working software over comprehensive documentation”. In agile, creating the formal documentation with a detailed description of everything is considered wastage of time. It does not mean that documentation is not necessary at all. It is necessary but it should be kept barely sufficient to fulfill regulatory requirements in an agile environment. Although for some safety-critical products, some additional documentation and conformance checks are recommended.
