AA97 - The What & the How: Two Sides of Software Development

Arguing Agile Podcast

In the agile software development discipline, the customer is represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The Business, who brings WHAT to build, and the team(s), who decide HOW it gets built. These are their stories.
Cue the Law and Order "DUN-DUN!"
On this episode, Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Agile Coach Om Patel talk about the two cycles that exist in product development, the "what" and the "how." We discuss how they should function in small, medium, and large businesses and the common dysfunctions that growth brings to the cycles.
