Does iteratively adding features in each agile 'sprint' mean constant refactoring and rewriting achieve robust design patterns?
By Richard de Garis - August 1, 20141 Answer

Unless I've misunderstood the principle, agile sprints are about layering on features until you arrive at some final release.  

But software can become unwieldy complex and choosing the right data structures and class patterns, for the application, is crucial - isn't it?  

So, how can you decide on the right data structures and classes and patterns, at the very beginning of the process, if in the first sprint, you are only dealing with a few of the overall application features?

Do you continually refactor and re-write as new feature-information is presented? Or is there some overall application design architecture happening up-front?

BTW, I'm not a formally-trained computer scientist, or software developer.

What are the key features of user story management?
By Sonja Dimitrijevic - October 14, 20134 Answers

In my research study, I need to identify the list of key features of user story management tools that can be used to support agile development. So far, I identified the following general groups of features: User role modeling and personas support, User stories and epics management, Acceptance testing support, High-level release planning, Low-level iteration planning, and Progress tracking. Each group contains some specific features, e.g., support for story points, writing of acceptance tests, etc.

Please help me elaborate the list by posting your list of such features, such as those that you've already used as part of a user story management tool, or those that you'd like to see in the software tool you use. Do you find some features more important than the others? Many thanks in advance!
