Could we use XP-style Customer Stories and Engineering Tasks?
Story: One thing the customer wants the system to do.
Stories should be estimable at between one to five ideal
programming weeks. Stories should be testable.
Engineering Task: One thing the programmer knows the
system must do. Tasks must be estimable at between one
to three ideal programming days. Most tasks will derive
directly from stories.
