Subject: Re: Documentation Process in an Agile environment
Thank you all for all your responses. To summarize, we tech-commers,
are, for the most part, still learning to adapt to Agile, although a few
of us do have strategies that work for them. In general:
* Be a part of all meetings, whether or not you fully understand
what is being discussed
* Develop rapport with the developers, SMEs, QA, Product
Owner....
* Ask lots and lots of questions
* Play with the application as much as possible (or allowed)
* If you can't make a solid Doc plan, then check to see if the
requirements are adequately explained
* Define "Done" for the feature to include documentation so that
it becomes the team's responsibility
* What did I miss?
