Dear JUDE Users,

CEO of Change Vision, Kenji Hiranabe's article "Agile Modeling with Mind Map and UML" has appeared on StickyMinds.com.

Summary: Requirements gathering--or in an agile context, gathering user stories--is always a challenging phase in software development. There are no standard processes or notations defined, only the understanding that the primary factors that make this phase effective are communication and facilitation skills.
In this article, Kenji Hiranabe proposes using mind maps that focus on those primary factors when exploring user wishes. Then he takes this concept one step further and models the results with UML.
