XP: Card, Conversation, Confirmation - The three C's

Image
  This is a technique lifted from XP (Extreme Programming).  Card On each card is enough text that identifies a requirement. Notes of priority and cost are written on it as well. They serve as tokens for requirements and are handed to developers during implementation and returned to customers when completed.

Every task needs at least one Responsible party, but it’s okay to assign more. Accountable: This person delegates work and is the last one to review the task or deliverable before it’s deemed complete. On some tasks, the Responsible party may also serve as the Accountable one. Just be sure you only have one Accountable person assigned to each task or deliverable. (Note: It might not be your PM!) Consulted: Every deliverable is strengthened by review and consultation from more than one team member. Consulted parties are typically the people who provide input based on either how it will impact their future project work or their domain of expertise on the del
