Ah... then I think this is a different issue than what I was discussing with Jamie. Jamie had been saying that one developer works on the front end of a single action, another works on the middle, and a third works on the back end, without crossing those borders (except, perhaps, in extreme situations).
What you're saying, though, pretty much enforces what I said in a different branch of this thread: The fact that a project is successful is in only small part due to the framework being used (if any). It's much more dependant on planning and documentation prior to actual coding. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 942-5378 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 11:43 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Cons to Fusebox > > > No-one here is in control of any particular file...we just ensure > that when > people do work on individual files : they can always be pieced together > without error., > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mosh Teitelbaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 21 July 2003 16:27 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Cons to Fusebox > > > I'm not sure that there was, but in case there was some > misunderstanding, by > "crunch time" I meant when things start getting hectic, time is > running out, > last minute changes, etc. > > In my own experience, and this is from having been a code grunt to an > architect to a project manager to just about every other aspect > of a project > you can think of, a team is better able to handle any challenge > when all (or > as many as possible) members of the team have a solid understanding of the > overall architecture.
