Two Primary Development Approaches
•Planned-driven techniques are considered traditional in nature:
–Where defined & repeatable processes support structured approaches
•Agile-driven techniques are considered evolutionary in nature:
–Treats development as a craft, not an industrial process
Development Techniques
•Segmented (Waterfall) Development:
–Where large systems are broken down into functional segments that worked individually as part of an overall project
•Spiral Development:
–Repeats planning, requirements, & design phases that produce prototypes that are evaluated & improved in subsequent cycles
•Rapid Prototyping:
–Most important & critical requirements are quickly designed & implemented in a prototype, evaluated, grown or discarded
•Iterative Technique:
–Similar to segmented, related functionality is divided into working components called “drivers”that are progressively elaborated
