RE: Agile Baby Steps

Cool. Deferral of details is key to the whole agile life.

We also found this changed our style of use cases to be more explicit. They 
used to say stuff like "display product information - fields depend on 
product" and maybe some appendix or design doc would list the fields. Now 
when we do product A in iteration 1, they say "display information for 
product A, fields are ..." then in iteration 2 we might add a separate flow 
or start a table of some kind to show the fields per product. Hmmm, that 
didn't exactly sing as an example, but I think we're happy about the way it 
changes our thinking. Better focus on fewer details at a time.
