A blog post developed using Agile Methodology: Iteration 1

The first iteration of A blog post developed using Agile Methodology has been rolled out, and here it is, sure it might not look like much now, but the core functionality agreed is included and the team believe we can deliver a useful and informative piece of software/writing.

Initially the team is made up of four characters:

• Project lead/editor: responsible for keeping everyone together and on track for the project, very experienced with software functionality as a whole and thinks big picture to decide competing prioritise.
• Software developer/writing: the voice of the person who is actually responsible for creating the letters and words within this post. The software developer/writer is experienced in weaving together ideas to make sense and carry the point of this project through.
• User/reader representative: this is the voice of the users/readers of this blog post, and in the absence of any real user/reader feedback using the comment functionality will be the voice of a a user experience expert contracted in to look at how it could be improved.
• Business owner: This is the voice of WTF is this whole thing for and is it worth the time and effort we are putting into it. This is the project sponsor, struggling to get their head around this newfangled methodology of agile.

The story itself will be set up through a series of narrations from the various characters and this functionality should be ready for the evaluation phase feedback due at 20:00 on Wednesday May 7th 2008.
