I am particularly surprised by the agile statements. I wonder if this flies in the face of the "state of DevOps" reports some people wave around.

- arendtio 4y agoI just watched the whole video and only agree with about 20% of the arguments. It feels a bit like Bertrand Meyer is missing the point of Agile. Yes, a bit of upfront understanding of the problem domain certainly is a good idea, but IMHO he is missing the point, that user stories are an instrument to support communication. He treats them like an incomplete requirements document, but instead they should just contain the bullet points so that the people who talked about the issue still remember what they talked about. In a typical requirements document the communication form is written, whereas in case of user stories the communication form is verbal and the document is just there to help people to remember.
