Agile & Modeling new way of life!

Nice title, isn’t it? I’d like to share the idea that we can associate agile project management and software development  practices (two different things!) to build sustainable software. In doing this, the sustainable artifacts would be source code AND analysis

Successful MDA’s drawbacks… A true story #2

Facts This (other) company, uses an MDA/MDD life-cycle since many years.It works fine but… A first problem, funny if you think of it, is that MDA works too well: developers who work on MDA projects for a while, say 3

Just reading the title of this post you know I’m kidding. This founding OMG’s MDA guide is unreadable by a human being ;D. However, even if skipping a lot of sections, it’s interesting enough to worth reading it as it

ProblemSolution

What is the focus of analysis: problem or solution?

This post is my shifted comment on Rafael’s post & discussion. Rafael talks about analysis vs design in the software life-cycle, where problem is the requirement and solution the software to build. First of all, IT or not, any answer

Lazyness

Lazy modeling (2): laziness attitude

Say that lazy means not going till something’s end. Lazy modeling means doing models that don’t hold all the material they could carry. Say we talk about MDD(a) (What else? ;D), so we talk about a PIM(b) which describes business/functional/architectural requirements. This
