[Fiware-wpa] [Fiware-wpl] Backlog Content - Reviews : Criteria for open descriptions

[Alex Glikson]

I fully agree with Stefano on appreciation of Manuel's effort, overall. I 
think the (perceived) quality and predictability improved dramatically 
following introduction of better agile tooling.

On the matter itself -- if I understand correctly, the suggestion refers 
to backlog items.
I don't see much value preserving the backlog beyond the end of the 
project. 
People interested in the end result will refer to the guides -- not the 
backlog. Backlog should be of interest primarily for the development team, 
as well as immediate stakeholders (e.g., the coordinator, the reviewers, 
etc).
Hence, I don't see value retroactively "improving" the backlog at this 
stage of the project. I seriously doubt that anyone cares what was the 
description of a work items implemented (and forgotten) in February 2012.

Regards,
Alex

Dear Manuel,

First of all let me thank you for your continuous effort in pushing us in 
improving the quality of our results.

I'd like to remind all that we are not improving the quality of mere 
project results, that as we are explaining also here at fia, are ment to 
be BRANDS (fi-ware, fi-lab, fi-ops) lasting outside and far beyond the 
life of the project. So any single drop in this direction is a big barril 
towards a quite interesting future!

@Gianmario: thank you for your example, but it only shows, at least to me, 
that the 42 words text is poorly provided as it does not add any 
additional detail.
What i'm saying that length is not a quality per se. anyhow rule for 
overall consistency allow the readers to easily navigate between the many 
pages of docs we do have, so adehering to such rules becomes per se 
quality!

Thank you again Manuel for your effort which i fully support!

Ciao
Stefano
