Feature Driven Development


Feature Driven Development

This is the Agile method which is widely recognized because of its track record of catering to larger projects. It is first utilized in Singapore for 50 projects, and from there it gained popularity. This approach is primarily based on the features of the project and taking measures to accentuate the features of the product. The process involves planning, designing, and testing the features. This method is ideal for complex projects, which require the constant supervision of professionals.
