- Data design for developers, DB vs. Agile development
Description:
In the debates between traditional SDLC ("waterfall") proponents and their Agile counterparts, probably the biggest hinge point is the question of database design. Agile practitioners value "working software over comprehensive documentation" and "responding to change over following a plan." Is Agile, then, the enemy of proper design? What does honoring these values mean to the data design process? This session considers questions like: What is a data design? Do you really need one? Why? Who creates it? When? What's the best format for it? What tools are good for managing it? Can the data design be changed? How? How often? By whom? How do you keep a data design document in sync with your implementation of it?
