Product gedreven development
De meeste methoden, frameworks en technologieën beloven sneller en betere producten op te leveren. Helaas bestaat er geen kant-en-klare one-size-fits-all oplossing. Het goede nieuws is dat er een breed scala aan tools, patronen en werkwijzen zijn die, mits goed toegepast, wél bijdragen aan sneller betere software leveren. Ik probeer hier zoveel mogelijk ervaringen te delen met wat voor mij wel en niet heeft gewerkt.
