  Agile/Lean Documentation: Strategies for Agile Software Development
Agile developers recognize that documentation is an intrinsic part of any system, the creation and maintenance of which is a “necessary evil” to some and an enjoyable task for others, an aspect of software development that can be made agile when you choose to do so.
The creation of documentation is fundamentally a business decision, you are investing the resources of your project stakeholders in the development of the documentation therefore they should have the final say on whether their money is to be spent that way, not a technical one.
Documentation that is intended as part of the system, such as operations and user manuals, should be updated and released before or with the system itself.
