Feature Driven Development

Hi !
I just went through the demo that you have using the login is and password of guest. I would like to know if for the backend there is anyway to configure Oracle 9i in place of MySql.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Regards,

Fred Brooks wrote a classic paper over 20 years ago called “No Silver Bullet”. It's amazing over the years since, how many people have claimed to have found the silver bullet.

FDD is no silver bullet. It's a collection of practices from my 25 years experience and some of the resources I've come in contact with in that time – be they books, people, software, etc. In fact, I think of FDD as an optimal collection (solution) of sub-optimal parts. Coombs law states that the optimal solution always comprises sub-optimal parts and it's from that perspective that I built and thus see FDD.

(some fragments from some of the writing I'd done for a modeling/architecture book. I'll *maybe* post some more of these)

Why is it domain neutral?

Let's look again at what a moment-interval is. It's a moment or interval of time when the business interacts with a party, place and thing, and the business needs to track or do something about the interaction. We also said another word for this could be "transaction" or "event" but that these are very overloaded terms and so we don't use them.

Instead we simply call it what it is. A moment or interval of time that we need to remember. (more...)

Modeling comprises high-level design, as well as requirements gathering, analysis, and documentation.

Modeling is also establishing a clear project target, breaking things down into smaller pieces, team building, and having fun!

Modeling is collaborating; not negotiating.

Hi

I am looking for improvements in my organisations development practices. I have been looking into the various agile approaches and the one that appears to most fit our organisation is FDD. There does not appear to be a lot of activity (forums, newsletters).

Do we know how prevalent it is in the industry. Have people tried it and decided on the others.

I am just interested in opinions before I embark too far down a road.

Thanks

Hii all,

I want to know that how we can use FDD in capturing GUI for web applications. Is there any way to feature model GUI usinf FDD. Like modeling window as feature and its control as sub features or some other way.

"let me just say that almost everything I’ve ever heard associated with the term 'extreme programming' sounds like exactly the wrong way to go...with one exception"

"I also must confess to a strong bias against the fashion for reusable code"

"...the idea of immediate compilation and 'unit tests' appeals to me only rarely, when I’m feeling my way in a totally unknown environment and need feedback about what works and what doesn’t. Otherwise, lots of time is wasted on activities that I simply never need to perform or even think about. Nothing needs to be 'mocked up'."

Where should we do time estimation for a feature? is it when we build the features list? or when we determine the development sequence?

regards

For product development, these paired design meetings and keeping them going late in the cycle is a wonderful idea.

I recently read Head First PMP which describes Project Management (PM) in a very visual and understandable way. The book is at the same time the Study Guide for the worldwide acknowledged PMP certificate from PMI Institute. I say this because it makes PM more tangible for people who are new to this field.
