FDD Explained: Delivering Features On Time and Within Budget

Welcome to our video on Feature-Driven Development (FDD) - a framework under the agile umbrella that helps teams develop working software with all the necessary features to satisfy the client’s requirements.
FDD was conceptualized by IT strategist Jeff de Luka in 1997, and it focuses on delivering features on time with continuous delivery. In this video, we will explore the advantages of using FDD, its differences from Scrum, the five key activities, and the six roles in an FDD team.
FDD is great for teams that wish regularly to add new features and changes during their iterations. It is scalable and can be adjusted to the size of the project as it grows. With FDD, features are developed and released in such a way as to accommodate the needs of your users. It is also a user-centric approach that allows you to break up the features into smaller chunks, making it easier to track progress, fix coding errors along the way, and make changes quickly. 🚀
FDD is closely related to Scrum, another agile methodology, but they have their differences. While FDD focuses on the features, Scrum focuses on delivery. The foundational pieces within FDD are also features, while Scrum relies on user stories and small client-valued functionalities. Meetings in Scrum take place daily, whereas FDD teams use documentation to share information, so they don’t meet that often.
FDD has five key activities that you won’t find in Scrum. In FDD, you’ll need to develop the overall model, set up a feature list, plan by feature, design by feature, and build by feature. There are six roles in an FDD team, including project manager, chief architect, development manager, chief programmer, class owners, and domain experts.
While FDD is a great methodology for some projects, it may not be the right fit for every team. It mainly depends on one critical role within your team - the chief programmer - who takes on the responsibilities of a mentor, lead designer, and coordinator for the dev team.
