The main deliverable in Agile is a working software and not
documentation. Documentation is a support to get the working software. In
traditional delivery cycle lot of documentation where generated in design and
requirement phase. But we are sure many of documentation where either created
just for the sake of it or it was just created. Below are the some of the key
points to make documentation Agile:-
- Before creating any document ask a question do we need
it and if we who is the stake holder. Document should exist only if needed
and not for the sake of existence.
- The most important thing is we need to create
documentation to provide enough data and no more than that. It should be
simple and should communicate to stakeholders what it needs to communicate.
For instance below figure ‘Agile Documentation’ shows two views for a simple
class diagram. In the first view we have shown all the properties for
“Customer” and the “Address” class. Now have a look at the second view
where we have only shown the broader level view of the classes and
relationships between them. The second view is enough and not more. If the
developer wants to get in to details we can do that during development.

Figure: - Agile documentation
- Document only for the current and not for future. In
short whatever documentation we require now we should produce and not
something we need in the future. Documentation changes its form as it
travels through every cycle. For instance in the requirement phase it’s the
requirement document, in design it’s the technical documentation and so on.
So only think which document you want to create now and not something in the
future.
