Sometimes it is worthwhile to spend some time on things that are necessary, but not really part of the user experience.

I’m curious though what you mean when you say that your billing system is one of the most complex in the system. I’d have thought it would be fairly straightforward service that looks at your customer records, and once per month triggers the billing process.

I’ve had the same issues on my current project regarding meta-work and administration. I couldn’t agree with you more, and whilst I thought I could get away with building all the client facing bits first to impress potential beta testers, I’ve been bitten more than once by not having proper diagnotics and admin stuff setup in time to catch the problems those beta testers inadvertently ran into… the terms ‘egg’ and ‘face’ come to mind ;-)

Great work on Agile Zen – keep it up!
Cheers,
Rob G

I’ve done a couple projects now where I wish I soft deleted everything. Sometimes having ON DELETE CASCADE on every foreign key relation is quite scary.
