Feature-driven development (FDD) is an iterative and incremental software development process. It is a lightweight or agile method for developing software. FDD blends several best practices into a cohesive whole. These practices are driven from the perspective of delivering functionality (features) valued by the client. Its main purpose is to deliver tangible, working software repeatedly in a timely manner in accordance with the Principles behind the agile manifesto.
Feature-driven development (FDD) is an iterative and incremental software development process. It is a lightweight or agile method for developing software. FDD blends several best practices into a cohesive whole. These practices are driven from the perspective of delivering functionality (features) valued by the client. Its main purpose is to deliver tangible, working software repeatedly in a timely manner in accordance with the Principles behind the agile manifesto. Since features are small, completing a feature is a relatively small task. For accurate state reporting and keeping track of the software development project, it is important to mark the progress made on each feature. FDD therefore defines six milestones per feature that are to be completed sequentially. The first three milestones are completed during the Design By Feature activity, and the last three are completed during the Build By Feature activity. To track progress, a percentage complete is assigned to each milestone. In the table below the milestones and their completion percentage are shown. At the point that coding begins, a feature is already 44% complete (Domain Walkthrough 1%, Design 40% and Design Inspection 3% = 44%).
