Take it one step further...the project I've been on since Jan and
going out this month (why do you think I'm here at 8pm) has been done
Agile with Scrums....this is new to us.
Included in each project story is to create a FunctSpec and to review
documentation. They cannot close their Iteration (and therefore go to
their next feature) without doing the documentation part.
(Now, THAT was a battle and there were times the Scrumaster crossed
me in the hallway and didn't look at me, but that usualy lasted on a
few hours)
