Rapid Application Development (RAD)
When working in software development organisations follow software development systems to ensure the project is a success. The RAD is one such system.
Rapid application development
- Rapid Application Development (RAD) is another agile methodology which focuses on getting a product made and quickly.
Stage 1: Analysis and design
- This is when the project team will look at the user requirements against what they can adapt or use from other places.
- The team will then produce a simple design.
Stage 2: Build, demonstrate and refine
- This stage is repeated multiple times where the project team will:
- Develop a product.
- Demonstrate it to the client.
- Refine the product based on the feedback they have received.
Stage 3: Testing and implementing
- At the end of each 'build, demonstrate and refine', there is a testing stage.
- Once the client is happy, the final stage is implementing the product.
