ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the documentation requirements or lack thereof on agile projects. The question mark behind the chapter’s title is not a discrepancy. It represents the question that is addressed throughout this discussion. As an overview of what is to come throughout this chapter, the answer will not be “Yes” or “No” but more of a “How much?” We recall the agile value: “Working software over comprehensive documentation.” Agile methods value working software more than comprehensive documentation, however, this does not necessarily mean there is no value in capturing information in written form on the project.
