Programmer evaluation at end of project

I first learned about FDD this year at the Agile Developers Conference and was so impressed by it, that I've implemented a slightly different version of it at my workplace. We're still ironing out some of the administrative stuff, and one of those is the evaluation of the programmers.

In the past, the supervisor of the programmer has worked with him/her throughout the year, and we have some standard forms that they would fill out. We now have Chief Programmer positions and Supervisor positions. The way we'll be handling the salary/bonus allocations is with feedback from the CP about the programmer. I'm trying to develop the things that will be in this feedback, and was looking for some insight from those that have been doing it longer.

What is a Feature

I am sorry about my ignorance to the term "feature" in FDD, however I am still confused and unable to understand it fully. My question is that

1. What exactly a feature is? is it a way to define the system requirement or the way to define how the new system will work?
2. What level of granularity should we need to go in terms of defining a feature?
3. A feature set could be a synonym to the sofwtare Module and its features?
4. How this grouping should be done?
5. is a feature could be synonym to use cases?

How the activities like user interface design, System user interaction behavior are supported by FDD?

FDD/Agile Development Metrics

Hi all,

Can anyone point me to metrics that demonstrate the advantages (or disadvantages) of adopting an agile development methodology and/or FDD? I'm looking for things like cost savings, defect density, SLOC/hour, etc.

Thanks a bunch! :)

When should a DM feature list be created?

I want to ask an FDD question regarding the feature list for the DM layer. We derived feature lists for the PD, UI, SI and DM layers, however our main FDD person is now telling me that we should scrap the DM list as DM features are never client valued. He says that such development work should be amortised within the PD feature list.

The only documentation that I have found on the topic is the following thread:
