  • Abstract
    The author makes the point that, to be successful with RAD (rapid application development), we can no longer look just at the software product in isolation. A RAD development process demands that we expand our view to encompass users and their work environments-and if we do it right, everyone benefits. But given all the risks, would you stake mission-critical projects on RAD? If it is not mission-critical, then why bother at all?
