"The walking skeleton is not complete or robust (it only walks, pardon the phrase), and it is missing the flesh of the application functionality. Incrementally, over time, the infrastructure will be completed and full functionality will be added." Alistair

"A walking skeleton is different from a spike. A spike is “the smallest implementation that demonstrates plausible technical success.” The spike typically takes between a few hours and a few days to complete, and is thrown away afterward, since it was built with nonproduction coding habits. A spike serves to answer the question: Are we headed in the wrong direction?"
