Get Your Agile Project Started on the Right Foot: Requirements and Architectural Envisioning

Average Rating: -

At the beginning of a project your stakeholders will invariably ask how much is it going to cost, what are you going to build, how long is it going to take, and how are you going to build it. To answer these questions you’re going to have to do some initial, high-level modeling of the requirements and of the architecture of the system during the initiation effort of your project. Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD) provides strategies to gain the benefits of modeling without the pain of needless documentation.

To get your project off on the right foot you’re going to have to do some initial requirements modeling with your business stakeholders, and some initial architecture modeling with your technical stakeholders. This doesn’t imply that you need to write comprehensive documentation or spend months on these activities. This presentation overviews the modeling efforts that occur during iteration 0 when you take AMDD approach to your projects.
