Feature Driven Development VSTS process template

Management
Written By Dima Malenko

Microsoft VSTS Process Templates homepage features Cognizant Feature Driven Development process template. Cognizant adds many (too many, actually) new concepts to FDD so that the process looses its elegant simplicity and focus. Instead of focusing on bug-free feature implementations with low deviation in development time they introduce a concept of "bug". Simple and powerful process indicators dominated by sophisticated work items state transitions. If there is a choice, I'd use "original" FDD even without tool support.
