The Agile Debate
Project Description
The Agile debate. Perhaps the most prominent controversy in o-o design today is whether it is possible to do a robust design with as little advance planning as agile methodologies recommend. Research this issue, on the Web and in the ACM DL, and report (fairly) on the major arguments of both sides, and on the evidence for both positions.
What is Plan-Driven Methodology?
Laurie Williams describes Plan-driven methods:
"Plan-driven methods are those that begin with the solicitation and documentation of a set of requirements that is as complete as possible. Based on these requirements, one can then formulate a plan of development. Usually, the more complete the requirements, the better the plan." [1]
Plan-driven methodology encompasses several different processes including waterfall, Personal Software Process, and the Rational Unified Processes.
