5.15 Deliver Working Software Frequently
My software development career started early enough, and was long enough, to have seen the gradual rise of agile practices, as well as the earlier dominance of a more rigidly structured approach that became associated with the Capability Maturity Models.
I have documented my thoughts about software development pretty thoroughly at the Software Development Big Ideas site.
In the case of Notenik, I’ve very much embraced the principle behind the Agile Manifesto that states:
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
My general practice has been to release a significant new version of Notenik every couple of weeks, and that seems to be working well, both for me and for the Notenik user community.
