- At XP 2002 Enrico Zaninotto gave a fascinating talk that discussed
  the tie-ins between agile methods and lean manufacturing. His view was
  that one of the key aspects of both approaches was that they tackled
  complexity by reducing the irreversibility in the process.

  - This
    selectivity is the key to using the UML well. Don't draw every class -
    only the important ones. For each class, don't show every attribute
    and operation - only the important ones. Don't draw sequence
    diagrams for all use cases and scenarios - only... you get the picture.
    A common problem with the common use of diagrams is that people
    try to make them comprehensive. The code is the best source of
    comprehensive information

  - Changing the design doesn't necessarily mean changing the
    diagrams. It's perfectly reasonable to draw diagrams that help you
    understand the design and then throw the diagrams away. Drawing
    them helped, and that is enough to make them worthwhile. They
    don't have to become permanent artifacts. The best UML diagrams
    are not artifacts.
  - So the advice for on-going documentation runs from these observed
    problems:
    Only use diagrams that you can keep up to date without
    noticeable pain
    Put the diagrams where everyone can easily see them. I like
    to post them on a wall. Encourage people to edit the wall copy with
    a pen for simple changes.

  - Several teams have reporting trying out a future change
    early in prototype mode to see how hard it would be.
    
    Add Sticky Note
  - If you have to add something, like internationalization, in later you're very conscious of the effort it takes to do so. You're less conscious of the effort it would actually have taken, week after week, to put it in and maintain it before it was actually needed.
  - Even if it is more effort to add something after the first release, it is better to release sooner.
  - the opinion
    of good technical people trumps any metric, despite its subjectivity.
  - XP doesn't really make it any easier, at least
    not for me. But I think XP does give us a new way to think about
    effective design because it has made evolutionary design a plausible
    strategy again.
