Because business imperatives won’t change anytime soon, project managers on rapid development projects must redouble their efforts to communicate efficiently and effectively.

To some, rapid development refers to a collection of specialized software engineering practices – extreme programming (XP), rapid application development (RAD), rapid prototyping – intended to make conscious choices about trading reduced scope and additional resources for shorter development time. For others, rapid development is a catch phrase to sell tools, new methodologies or seminars – each promising to reduce software development cycle times. Whichever definition you prefer, schedule pressure can lead to disaster as teams cut corners and try to decide where to make concessions in hopes of achieving tight schedule goals.

“When I hear rapid development, I immediately think, ‘Here’s a development team that’s hoping to shortcut the laws of projects by skipping key steps,’” says Dave Ferguson, vice president of e-product development and implementation for DST Output in El Dorado Hills, Calif., USA.
