1. what is - a software development process

   1. evolutionary prototyping without overhead

2. personae - customers and developers; managers

   1. customers

      1. establish objectives - stories

      2. order and select alternatives - determine overall objectives

      4. re-design

   3. managers - do the manager thing; be the daddy and mommy

3. process

   1. customer tells stories, developers write down stories

   2. developers estimate cost and duration from stories

   3. customer adjusts stories based on estimates

   4. developers start development

   5. customers specify acceptance tests

   6. eventually, they meet - the end of an iteration

   7. repeat until no more stories are left - the customer is satisfied
