Feature-Driven Development is an agile software development methodology that organizes work around building and delivering small, client-valued functionalities called "features," following a process of overall model development, feature list building, planning, and iterative design-and-build cycles. It was created by Jeff De Luca and Peter Coad in the late 1990s and emphasizes domain object modeling and regular progress tracking. It is used by software teams seeking a more structured, model-driven alternative to methodologies like Scrum.
