Fit Breaking Barriers
Sam wrote an interesting post on Estimating Frustrations on Agile Project + Fit. What’s even a more interesting piece to read (at least in my opinion) is James Shore’s vision on Fit. What I like in particular is the tight integration between the test-team and the development-team. Currently the Fit document is often considered to be the intellectual property of the test-team. The domain knowledge captured while composing this document and the resulting software stays within the individual teams until acceptance testing begins… then all of a sudden both teams need to have a mutual understanding of what the application actually solves and how the software's problem solving capabilities match up against the domain. Not to mention the translations involved since they missed the opportunity to live by the One Language rule (Ubiquitous Language). This barrier is broken by the Fit Workflow process. I’m not sure whether the described Fit process is suitable for large and complex applications. All in all very interesting!
