Iteration #2 - Day #2 Friday 1/3/2003

I had a very interesting conversation with our customer and the QA team today. Most of it centered around communications between the customer, developers and QA. The issue that started the whole conversation was that the customer and a developer discussed a story and agreed to build it a certian way. At the completion of the iteration one of the features was not implemented the way the customer remembers specifying it. However, since there are no formal requirements documents he dosen't have anything to point at to say you missed this. To further complicate matters the omission wasn't noticed until the next iteration had started causing the customer to wonder if he could insist that the omission be corrected even though it wasn't oficially part of the current iteration.
