During a sprint, a new developer asks how much documentation the team should create for user stories and design decisions. As the Scrum Master, how do you explain the guiding principle behind agile documentation so the team balances transparency with efficiency?
Ensuring documentation is sufficient and necessary to meet the project's communication requirements without creating excess.
Preferring verbal communication and avoiding documentation to speed up the project delivery.
Producing detailed and extensive documentation for future reference and comprehensive understanding.
Focusing on documenting every decision and meeting to ensure complete traceability and accountability.
Agile values working software over comprehensive documentation, meaning teams create only the documentation that is necessary to support clear communication, shared understanding, and regulatory or stakeholder needs. Anything beyond that introduces waste and detracts from delivering value. Producing extensive documents, avoiding all documentation, or recording every minor detail each meeting contradicts this principle.
