What is 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.

History of FDD

FDD was first applied in the year 1997 on a real-world application by Jeff De Luca for large software development with specific needs of 15-month and 50 persons and published as a discussion in book Java Modeling in Color with UML in the year 1999.

FDD Lifecycle

• Build overall model
• Build feature list
• Plan by feature
• Design by feature
• Build by feature

Advantages of FDD

• Reporting at all levels leads to easier progress tracking.
• FDD provides continuous success for larger size of teams and projects.
• Reduction in risks is observed as whole model and design is build in smaller segments.
• FDD provides greater accuracy in cost estimation of the project due to feature segmentation.

Disadvantages of FDD

• This agile practice is not good for smaller projects.
• There is high dependency on lead programmers, designers and mentors.
• There is lack of documentation which can create an issue afterwards.
