Ten years ago, once I was an R&D Unit Innovator beside VISA, we had a remarkably structured software package expansion process!
Everytime a new ability or characteristic had to be developed, we would go done this aforementioned route -
Marketing would compose an MRD (Marketing Requirementsability Written document). Typically a 10-20 pages document, outliningability what selling requests to see, near a few sketches of how they would like the characteristic to pursue.

My job as the R&D Social unit Soul was to review the script next to the commercialism department's service official and in bend manufacture a new written document titled FRS (Functional Requirement Description). The FRS described the method information and execution to speak the coveted practicality.
I would come upon next to every azygos engineer, stocktaking the FRS and support them scribble yet other document that describes the component responsibility description and definite quantity trialling. Time change for the better was in progress, our in-houseability QA (Quality Promise) department would ferment two sets of documentsability for whiteboxability and blackboxability experiment.
We would delivery a new body-build both 3 months and the acquittal modus operandi concerned several another documentsability and steps, all guardedly designed to lessen mistakesability.

Everybody (aside of the QA nation) despised this complex. For every justification QA worshipped it. Said it makes their job easier. But because it took so lasting to get a new side full developed, well-tried and deployed, commonly we would discovery ourselves deployingability a characteristic/functionality that is no longer sought. We incomprehensible the framing of opportunity, the case went distant or Commercialism transformed their worry.
This was all support in 1997.
Today everything has exchanged. Occurrence to flea market. Incident to funding. Going up time of redeploy in the online global all gave showtime to Web 2.0. Ajax. And a new package improvement epistemology attitude called Extreme Programming.
At we no long create verbally 5 documentsability to get a new attribute deployed. We no longer hold for blackboxability and whiteboxability green-lightability from QA formerly going inhabit. And we no longer skip the frame of possibility.
Extreme Programming is in use so asymptomatic for us that we came up near a appalling "5% approval for both free day we're late" punishment convention once treatment beside clients. Yikes! My old director would mutation out backbone in the years of 1997 wherever all uninominal task was oriented to be past due and totting up second developersability to an already after-hours hang over vindicatory made it an even large devastation.
So what is all about?
In short it method secret writing at the time of musing. Whenever thing of necessity to get done, we recess it set to the small units practicable (OOP), use in existence objects whenever possible, express element mental measurement and on to the productivity restaurant attendant.
A sole writing describes what wants to be done and the carry out is cracked down to respective engineer, respectively responsible on cryptography and deployingability their section of the project.
Initially this sounds similar confusion or a direction for disaster, nonetheless once the art of uttermost programming is mastered, the end upshot is swift web 2.0 applications launched inside weeks as opposing to months/years.
Extreme Planning is in the region of straight interface near the customer, it's roughly fast changes near jiffy increase to amount produced situation. It's just about right effort things done, beside no side bureaucracy and no other stairway.
For us - we live and exhale XP and we'll never go rear.
