Not-so-extreme programming

The methodology we are going to use has been determined. We will use a custom methodology borrowing from extreme programming and the Rational Unified Process. We will write use cases at times and user stories other times. Why? I consider use cases more robust and desirable in most circumstances, and that is one of the few things I don’t like about extreme programming: it suggests the exclusive use of user stories.

We have also decided to work on HTML templates right away, not using wire framing. We can do this because Maestro is damn good at doing it! We won’t write test cases either, as all of the developers of the team are so good they won’t need another person doing quality assurance of their tasks following test cases. Use cases and user stories will be enough… Or at least I hope so.

We have decided to use a wiki to gather all the documentation of the project. Thank you MediaWiki!

Our project management tool won’t be a fancy one. We will adapt Mantis to our needs (http://www.mantisbt.org/). Thank you Mantis!

PS: Thank you Juan! I know I didn’t like the idea of using Mantis when you brought it up several years ago. Now I cannot live without it.

  1. Hi this is my post to get more noticed on the internet and in Rancho Cordova, CA and hopefully share the word about my hotel. It would be awesome if you allow me to share my information about the hotel here. The hotel name is Comfort Suites Rancho Cordova Hotel. Thank you.
