Feature-Driven Development vs Extreme Programming
Developers should learn FDD when working on complex, long-term projects that require systematic planning and frequent delivery of working features, such as enterprise applications or large-scale systems meets developers should learn extreme programming when working on projects with rapidly changing requirements, high risk, or where quality and customer collaboration are critical, such as in startups or innovative product development. Here's our take.
Feature-Driven Development
Developers should learn FDD when working on complex, long-term projects that require systematic planning and frequent delivery of working features, such as enterprise applications or large-scale systems
Feature-Driven Development
Nice PickDevelopers should learn FDD when working on complex, long-term projects that require systematic planning and frequent delivery of working features, such as enterprise applications or large-scale systems
Pros
- +It helps teams maintain focus on business value, improve predictability through regular milestones, and enhance collaboration between developers and stakeholders
- +Related to: agile-methodologies, domain-driven-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Extreme Programming
Developers should learn Extreme Programming when working on projects with rapidly changing requirements, high risk, or where quality and customer collaboration are critical, such as in startups or innovative product development
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for teams aiming to reduce defects, improve code maintainability, and respond quickly to market feedback, as its practices like test-driven development and continuous integration help ensure robust and adaptable software
- +Related to: agile-methodology, test-driven-development
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Feature-Driven Development if: You want it helps teams maintain focus on business value, improve predictability through regular milestones, and enhance collaboration between developers and stakeholders and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Extreme Programming if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for teams aiming to reduce defects, improve code maintainability, and respond quickly to market feedback, as its practices like test-driven development and continuous integration help ensure robust and adaptable software over what Feature-Driven Development offers.
