@SanjayKumaarr Those scenarios without an expected result. Possibly exploratory test charters for discovery of behaviour to uncover unknowns.

@Maaikees I was the same. I now create a table and rate tasks 1-10 with time & importance, graph it and work bottom left to top right. It helps organise my mind and focus on one task at a time.
Hope it helps!

A good overview of how software design docs are used and written at Google: https://t.co/ZrVZ360EpH . A recommended read.

At Uber, we have a similar approach, previously called RFCs, now ERDs (Engineering Review Docs).

Some interesting parts from the article:

To scale agility, you need to devolve the business. If you implement agile practices in to large organisations,you're adding process and will be no closer to being agile. Devolve ownership and responsibility of products to business areas & IT teams with direct access to customers

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

A few founder superpowers:

- Knowing which questions to ask
- Listening before talking
- Speaking in analogies
- Being able to take feedback
- Uninterested in what competition is doing

[Phil Urmson @Philurmson]

@neil_killick @Deanleffingwell To scale agile do you not need to scale back the products so that teams have ownership and responsibility to make change with agility? Is this the common misconception with enterprise agility? More does not equal faster and agile ways of working don't add up to 'agility'.
