Scrummin’ For The Ilities
Whoo hoo! The product owner has funded our project and we’ve spring-loaded our backlog with user stories. We’re off struttin’ and scrummin’ our way to success:
But wait! Where are the “ilities” and the other non-functional product requirements? They’re not in your backlog?
Uh, we don’t do “ilities“. It’s not agile, it’s BDUF (Big Design Up Front). We no need no stinkin’ arkitects cuz we’re all arkitects. Don’t worry. These “ilities” thingies will gloriously emerge from the future as we implement our user stories and deliver working increments every two weeks – until they stop working.
Yup…and build a big old runway on your island and cargo will emerge from the sky!
Heh heh
