User Documentation in XP environment (Possible Process)
Subject:User Documentation in XP environment (Possible Process) From:Laura spencer <ljs199 -at- go -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 02 Oct 2001 19:21:32 -0700 (PDT)
For those colleagues working in an Extreme Programming environment, I would like feedback on the following:
With a colleague, I have come up with a possible process for writing online help and user documentation in an XP (Extreme Programming) environment.
We discussed having each story contain a simple task which basically requires that decision be made about whether that story should be documented (yes or no), and that each iteration contain a story to write the user documentation. The user documentation should contain two tasks--one for the writer and one for the reviewer. The task for the writer is simply to document the stories that were designated as needing documentation from the prior iteration. The task for the reviewer is to review the documentation.
