Development is modular. Feature-driven development (FDD) is a practice where a product is delivered feature by feature over the life of the project. A useable release is completed and thoroughly tested before moving on to the next feature module. These small victories bolster team confidence and enthusiasm.

Agile methodologies have become widely popular since the publication of the agile manifesto in 2001 [39]. While various methodologies (e.g., extreme programming (XP) [2], scrum [33], feature-driven development (FDD) [29], and lean software development (LSD)) [30] have claimed the designation of “agile,” they advocate significantly different sets of agile practices. Agile practices are software development tasks or activities that are used to implement the agile method’s principles and values. Differences between the practices defined in each method are to be expected, as each method emerged from a different context, with somewhat different goals. For example, scrum [33] is an agile method that focuses primarily on managing project team tasks through practices such as a daily standup meeting, iteration planning, and delivery in short sprints.1In agile software development, work is contained in a regular, repeatable work cycle, known as a sprint or iteration. In contrast, XP [2] is an agile method that advocates practices that are focused on quality and software engineering techniques (e.g., pair programming, unit testing).
