It's good as an idea, he tought me for a course.

But in practice you end up messing around to follow the rules such as
classes should be small. Ok perhaps they should be but you start to
loose the business logic and then forget about documentation etc. Also
some of the later steps of the Discovery Process seems to be missing
explanations and reasons. 

Well I don't know really!
