I feel a recipe is only a theme which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation. Madame Benoit The ultimate judgment of progress is this: measurable results in reasonable time. Robert Anthony I measure output, not input. Lim Bak Wee 6 Feature-Driven Development For enterprise-component modeling to be successful, it must live and breathe within a larger context, a software development process. Weve developed such a process in practice and detail it in this chapter. We present Feature-Driven Development (FDD) in these sections: 1. The problem: accommodating shorter and shorter business cycles 2. The solution: feature-driven development 3. Defining feature sets and features 4. Establishing a process: why and how 5. The five processes within FDD 6. Chief programmers, class owners, and feature teams 7. Management controls: Tracking progress with precision 6.1 The Problem: Accommodating Shorter and Shorter Business Cycles Despite the many advances in software development, it is not uncommon for projects lasting two or more years to use a function-driven process: from functional specs (in traditional paragraph format or in use-case format) to design to code to test to deployment. Along the way, some have made minor modifications to the theme, allowing some influence from iterations. Nevertheless, many software projects exc
