Below are some <strong>of</strong> the best practices you’ve learned about in earlier chapters. For each<br />

technique, you were asked to write down what you think each technique <strong>of</strong>fers, and then how<br />

you could measure whether or not that technique helped your project.<br />

Everyone on the team knows<br />

where they are, what else needs to be done, and what has to<br />

happen in this iteration. You can also see if you’re on schedule.<br />

What does this technique <strong>of</strong>fer?<br />

There should be fewer bugs<br />

resulting from missed features, better handling <strong>of</strong> unplanned<br />

items, and an idea <strong>of</strong> exactly what’s done during this iteration.<br />

How do you know if it worked?<br />

A way to split up s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

requirements, track those requirements, and make sure the<br />

functionality the customer wants is captured correctly.<br />

What does this technique <strong>of</strong>fer?<br />

There should be fewer<br />

misunderstandings about functionality. Velocity on a project<br />

should also go up, since developers know what to build better.<br />

How do you know if it worked?<br />

Changes can be distributed<br />

across a team without risking file loss and overwrites. You can<br />

also tag and branch and keep up with multiple versions.<br />

What does this technique <strong>of</strong>fer?<br />

No code overwrites, no code<br />

lost from bad merges, and changes to one part <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

shouldn’t affect other pieces and cause them to break.<br />
