Rapid Application Development and other team design methods have
become the systems designer's choice for developing Internet, Web,
and intranet applications. This authoritative handbook covers all
the major methods and technologies and is filled with real-world
advice based on the author's years of requirements. Checklists and
tables help design teams map out their goals and stay on track in
meeting them. In this demanding era of usability, groupware, and
globalization, this is the first resource that truly takes group
design practice out of the lab and brings it where it is needed
- to the development site.
Written by a highly respected expert whose career is centered
on the creation of smooth-running development teams, this unique
book is the first to offer working professionals a field-tested
and field-verified approach. Combining the best tools, techniques,
and strategies from Joint Application Development (JAD), participatory
design, distributed development, and all major team approaches,
this book jumps across disciplines to bring you the best methods
from all specialties that contribute to system design.
But this book does more than draw on all the most successful approaches
to team design, as applied in a broad range of real-world situations.
The Handbook of Team Design also presents a new system of
frameworks for applying these methods. It provides you with guidelines
for four separate arenas. You'll get precise procedures, checklists,
charts, and workable tools for development in business and information
systems, software products, user participation, and technical systems. |
