Discover to Deliver

Gottesdiener and Gorman set out a structured conversation for deciding what to build, run across three planning horizons, which are the whole product, the next release and the current iteration. Seven product dimensions carry the analysis, covering user, interface, action, data, control, environment and quality attribute, and the argument is that a requirements discussion skipping any of them will meet the gap later at a worse moment. One case study runs through the book with eighty worked examples attached to it. This is the most rigorous treatment available of product analysis for an agile team, and it is drier than most.
