The XFB project I mentioned, www.solutionssite.com, took about a month to
deliver, which I thought was VERY fast. During that time, the design changed
a significant amount. However, since the changes were done to the prototype
and not the code, the overall time to completion was significantly lowered
AND the client got exactly what they wanted/expected. There are some things,
like getting to what clients want, that can't be rushed--it is by nature an
iterative process--but we can free up the coders from this process so that
actual coding can be done quickly. In the case of this site, the actual
coding was two days.

True .. but if the application and the documentation was *that* complete,
the coding would technicly already be done. All it would require then would
be to have some monkeys that can read, push the right keys and there you go.
Sure it could be done in 2 days at that point, but I really don't think it
would change the conception-to-completion time of the project that much.
All it sounds like you would be doing is trading coding time for design time
.... that's certainly a good idea, but I'm still convinced that the project
we
are working on would take 2 months ... 58 days planning and documenting and
2 days coding ;)
