No, it certainly isn't a priority. Our approach has always been to keep doing what we're doing until any pain we feel reaches a threshold that can't be tolerated. We reached that threshold with concrete estimates and a task-level focus and changed how we did things. The result has been good, so we'll continue using relative estimation and story-level focus while it works. If, down the road, we find a compelling reason to change, we will. Is this XPMM Level 4? ;) Dave Rooney Mayford Technologies http://www.mayford.ca To Post a message, send it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ad-free courtesy of objectmentor.com Yahoo!
