Jan 20, 2021 at 2:29 comment added Matthew Flynn @DXM In the years since I answered this, I've very much come around to your stance on the subject of requirements. BDD, ATDD, and clean code are by far the best way to capture and maintain knowledge of what software should and actually does do.

Dec 3, 2012 at 4:00 comment added DXM ... my team always kept everything but we didn't even have any detail in our stories, so I still don't understand what value those stories provided, but like many others, my boss was very adamant about not throwing anything out.
Dec 3, 2012 at 3:59 comment added DXM @SimonWhitehead: since you were not the only one that made that comment, I updated my answer. My team never threw away a single story either. So how often have you had to go back 2 years in the past and dig up those old stories for reference? And what kind of info did you get out of them. How was the detail of your stories compared to what Bob Martin (books.google.com/…) describes (especially 3rd paragraph under User Stories section? Just curious, were your stories talking points or did you actually capture ALL requirements?...
