I believe interactions are important, but some documentation can also be useful for understanding the design.

Should we still consider creating some documentation for this complex system?

But in Agile, we're supposed to prioritize interactions over documentation.

You know, this reminds me of that classic Dilbert comic where the pointy-haired boss says 'No more documents! They slow us down!' And then Dilbert's like, 'But how will we know what to do?' Haha, classic.

Hmm, I don't know. I can see both sides of this. On one hand, the Agile manifesto does say 'working software over comprehensive documentation.' But on the other hand, some documentation can actually help us work more efficiently, especially for a complex system. This is a tricky one.

Hah, yeah, that's totally relevant here! Look, the ScrumMaster needs to find a way to balance the need for documentation with the Agile principles. Maybe they can compromise and say we'll do just enough documentation to keep us on track, but not get carried away with it.

Whoa, hold on a second! This is a classic Agile vs. documentation debate. I mean, we all know that Agile values working software over comprehensive documentation, but that doesn't mean we can totally ignore it, right? This is a complex system, after all.
