About Me
- Name: Nigel Fernandes
- Location: Panjim, Goa, India
Crazy, dancing, programming, Goan.. I'm a computer geek and proud to be one. I program in Java, Ruby and .Net, PHP, Javascript. A lot of my recent work has been about CSS and UI design practices for large scale websites and Agile teams. I still while away hours dreaming up a web startup.
The right size problem.

Deciding how big a problem to tackle is a challenge agile project planners. What should the size/scope of a story be. Same goes for developers. How big a refactoring should be taken on as part of a story?The answer usually varies across project team.
There is plenty of written material on this. I'll just add a small point I believe is valid when starting/building teams. This is a also something to keep in mind as a lead/analyst in a project.
Seth Godin says
If you've got a small, fixable problem, people will rush to help, because people like to be on the winning side, take credit and do something that worked.
