RE: Do C-Level managers, and business drivers really need to know about XP?

Every organization is different, soothe lines of communication (LOC) are
different. In the situation you mention there are two LOCs, one that
requirements come from, and one that HR-type management comes from. This
latter is not what I'm discussing, as the ceremonies involved there have
nothing to do with the System being developed other than having an
impact on resources.

 

It is a very interesting thing to figure out how the communications must
take place, yes?

This is often true, but I suggest, not always. For example, in a typical
IT
situation, the customer team and the programer team are quite often from
separate organizations. In that case, it seems prudent to consider
having
the programmer team doing their own communication to their leadership
(and
of course everyone copied on everything).

Is it not?
