What is Chilling the Messenger: Keeping ego out of software-design review about?
Trying to correct someone who has just done a lot of work, even if, ultimately, that work is not the right work, is a daunting task. The person in question no doubt believes that he has worked very hard to produce something of value to the rest of the team, and walking in and spitting on it, literally or metaphorically, probably crosses your "offense" line--at least I think it does. I’m a bit surprised that since this is the first sprint and there is already so much code written, shouldn’t the software have shown up after the sprints established what was needed, who the stakeholders were, etc.? Or was this a piece of previously existing code that was being brought in to solve a new problem? It probably doesn’t matter, because the crux of your letter is the fact that you and your team do not sufficiently understand the software in question to be comfortable with fielding it.
