Bug Driven Development: a danger of delivering the pretty GUIs first

After my last post, Negin and I were quite pleased that we’d got as far as we had.

So was our Business Analyst. “So, this story that was estimated at 3 days,” she said. “Can I say it’s only taken one?”

“No! We’re not done yet!” I protested.

“Really? It looked like you were almost done on Friday… what happened?”

Oh, well. At least we know it looks good.

    Mmm, definitely! Kathy Sierra was at OOPSLA and did her “Creating Passionate Users” keynote – it was fantastic.

    I guess the problem was that I didn’t really _show_ my BA the code… she just saw it over my shoulder and assumed. When it comes to the showcase, it’ll be done-done!
