OK - it is time for people to fess up as they venture down the FDD route as seeking testimonials for our managers is quite difficult. I would like to hear answers to the following:
Hello all,
I have spent the last couple of evenings writing a utility that will display and print parking lots.
You can use whatever tool you like to capture data and when you want a parking lot report you can export the relevant bits to XML and use this viewer to read and display the data.
The plan is to distribute it free to whoever wants it. However, if you want to give me a 6 figure sum for a site license I might be able to be convinced.
At present I don't have anywhere to host the download and I am not sure what the etiquette is re uploading to this site. If anyone wants to try FDD Viewer please reply to this post and we will arrange something.
I'm guessing Excel would be used by a lot of people but what about the parking lot feature diagrams? What do people use to produce them? Visio?
Hello, everyone!
I want you to know that we started an Yahoo group for the Brazilian FDD community to discuss all things FDD in Portuguese!
To enter the group people must have an Yahoo account.
The link to the group is

Hope to see many of you there! :)

Or at least a lot of people still do, according to a recent study. Go read:
"The Demise of the Waterfall Model Is Imminent - and Other Urban Myths"
by Phillip A. Laplante and Colin J. Neill, Penn State University
ACM Queue vol. 1, no. 10 - February 2004
They discuss some interesting myths, like prototyping - or not.
Thoughts? Comments? :)
(PS: I really don't love Raymond either.)

Hi All,
I am new to FDD and want to make sure I understand how to build a feature list.
I know some of this has been covered in http://www.featuredrivendevelopment.com/node/view/590
so please exuse the repeat but I'd like to be specific about business systems.
Firstly some observations using a real-world example of an insurance firm we deal with in the
language they use to describe their business:
a) their business is made up of one or more business units
b) we deal with one or more business units (travel insurance, medical insurance)
Hi All,
The tools from Together software look good but if your budget doesnt stretch that far
have a look at www.metamill.com I can thoroughly recommend this
product and a single user license is only $US125 and a full site license is only $US1280.
It does full round-trip engineering UML-Code and Code-UML.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Grant
Take a look at the new artwork link in the site menu at the top of this page for some FDD desktop backgrounds. These are free downloads for you to use.
