How to Make RAD Work Few I/S methodologies have generated as much controversy as RAD - Rapid Application Development. Largely a product of the Client/Server age, RAD promises to deliver applications faster than conventional system development life cycle approaches, without sacrificing quality. This briefing critically examines RAD and several related controversies, including spiral iterative prototyping approaches, the applicability of RAD to non-visual application components and the viability of a combined JAD-RAD environment that includes business area users as active project participants.
You will identify and investigate the major RAD issues, define success factors, and identify crucial expediters and impediments. You will define and evaluate RAD best practices by probing several actual project experiences to examine the good decisions the project managers made and the successful practices they followed. What happened? Why did they do it the way they did it? How could it be done better? What technical or procedural changes need to occur to gain improvement?
