The value of Big Design up Front

April 28, 2009 by Mendelt Siebenga

Lets start my first article on AgileSoftwareDevelopment.com with a controversial title. Just to get your attention. You're still reading? See! It works!

I often see teams, even teams that claim to be doing agile spend several weeks or even months at the start of a project doing requirements, analysis, design and planning. BDUF is a habit many people find hard to give up. Team members instinctively feel there's something of value in that first stage of a project they'll lose when they just dive in and start creating software. That value is not in the documentation they deliver, but it's something they do during those activities that they forget to do later on. Lets look at a typical project to see what people do during that first phase that makes it valuable.

How to change this ?
