opportunities into business value.

with the help of business analysts, also starts planning the project, the architect starts looking at how to realize the new system, the

Three pillars

within any project there are three pilars, human

resources who is doing the job, required

functionality to deliver,

timeframe when required functionality must

be delivered

actually there is

fourth element in the classical triangle –

the quality with which deliver project on time

Development process

this is classical project development cycle

every next step

is performed only previous has been

successfully completed

MSF process is

iterative, never ending and

never explicity starting. Project

ends when customer has

received a value

Project drivers

project is split into several iterations,every next iteration is performed as needed

iteration contains concrete steps inside

every tiny check-in counts, which drives whole project, through daily builds those are consolidated into acceptance tests
