CMCrossroads articles on FDD and Situational Code Ownership

The following two articles of mine appear in the April 2006 issue of CM Crossroads Journal (the month's theme is "Agile Development Practices"):

• Feature-Driven Development - an Agile Alternative to Extreme Programming


• Situational Code Ownership: Dynamically Balancing Individual -vs- Collective Ownership

If parts of them look familiar it's because these articles evolved out of multiple entries from this blog over the past year :-)

The more I look at FDD, the more I really like it as an agile method suitable for a large projects and companies, especially those striving for CMM/CMMI. I also really like the work David Anderson has done tying FDD together with Lean, TOC, and SixSigma.

I'd be real interested in any work on melding FDD together with many of the project management practices of Scrum, and some of the programming practices of XP (e.g., continuous integration, TDD, collective ownership, and refactoring).
