Really depends on the app thought I do agree with the principle. We have 3 Core Modules though those modules have many different sub features. E.g. E-Recruitment e-HR and Self-Service. Each will then Manage specific processes. At the very beginning, we focus on building out the first, launched it then started to focus on the second. We also have to establish On-Demand platform/security prior, but the end user focus was based on this core module.
We've been padding these modules out of the past 12 months with guidance from Customers and Prospects You have to be focused and Disciplined. Not to let your enthusiastic, obessessive creative compulsion get the better of you... I am speaking from my own experience here.
