The dicussion on a business that implements these ideas goes on over at my place.

Important to be clear, but I don’t think it detracts from the strength of Danc’s article.

He uses the term “preproduction” in the context of the preproduction-production-postproduction “waterfall” model of development. Once you go agile, “preproduction” changes its meaning a bit, in terms of the tasks involved.

Likewise, he never claims that there shouldn’t be a Lead Designer, just that the lead should be spending most of their time removing obstacles from the rest of the team. Making a decision when the rest of the team is deadlocked counts as obstacle removal. So does creating a clear vision statement that can be referred to by the team (although crafting that statement should involve input from everyone).
