I just created a new page and category for Agile SharePoint.

The key succes factor for successful rollout of SharePoint projects is the SDLC for SharePoint projects.

I use a modified version of Feature Driven Development – An agile methodology, for my SharePoint projects. It has helped me a lot in successfully implmenting these projects. So this is an attempt for sharing this with all of you.

So to start with, the methodology has 3 parts to it.

  • Complete lifecycle
  • SharePoint development process
  • SharePoint Feature Driven Development Model

Let us look at these diagrams first and then I will go into details.

So, first let us take a look at the overall lifecycle. :

Now let us go one step further into details of what is involved in each of phases viz. Discover, Define, Design and Develop.
