However, here's some food for thought: - Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:38:00 GMT Rupert Jones http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2807 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2807 Fair call. I've worked in an environment where a portion of the development team considered 'ticking n things off' (where a larger value of n is 'better') Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:01:09 GMT Steve Hayes http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2806 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2806 Depends on POV. I think these should be counted in the teams velocity - how many story points they get through in an iteration *to their current level of Thu, 27 Mar 2008 20:49:10 GMT Rupert Jones http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2805 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2805 Duncan, Do the defects-as-stories contribute to your iteration velocity? If so I think this skewers that measure's usability in context of the project.

It's a small project, so our backlog is kept in a text file of stories in source control.

No particular attention paid to complexity other than good Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:02:06 GMT Mike Melia http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2802 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/melbourne_XP_enthusiasts/message/2802 I agree with the rest of your post but, on this point, we differ.
