Why people fail at multitasking, a short movie.

'Maintenance typically consumes about 40 to 80 percent (60
percent average) of software costs. Therefore, it is probably the
most important life cycle phase.' - a quote from an article
called Frequently Forgotten Fundamental Facts about Software
Engineering by Robert Glass.

Feature Driven Development came out as an evolution from the
book Object Oriented Analysis from Peter Coad and the project
management method of Jeff De Luca. It was first described in the
book Java Modeling In Color.
