I also have done somewhat of a mix lately, but I will say that everything that was fusedoc'd before coding began was EASILY delivered on time, even though the people working on it had less knowledge of cold fusion. The projects that were a struggle were the ones that fusedocs were not fusedoc'd in advance, even though the more knowledgable developers were working on them. Granted, there are many intricacies between projects that make some harder than others, but we would have solved a large number of them with fusedocs. As a result, I am trying to get the "Always Fusedoc in advance" approach to be adopted, but that will take some more time, and I will continue to push in that direction.

Two of the past projects I worked on one of them we used fusedocs one of them we didn't. The one we did it was a large project that was built across a team of 8 developers of varying skill levels, the detailed instructions contained inside the fusedocus were very helpful in making sure that all the fuses did what they were supposed to. Senior developers checked the work of junior developers against the fusedocs to see that the fuses were doing what they needed to. The project we didn't use fusedocs was a smaller project that only had 2 senior developers working on it. We identified all the circuit applications and fuses for the application using visual mind map. The senior developers were then solely responsible for making sure that the functionality worked. Both ways worked fine for us, we delivered our projects on time to satisfied clients. I find fusedocs a worthwhile endeavour when working with a larger team of developers or developers with different skill levels, when working on a solo project or with a small number of other senior developers I just use the mind map to know where we're going and I allow the developers to work out their own solutions. Hope that helps. JME -----Original Message----- From: Wally Randall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Who Uses Fusedocs? I would like to raise an heretical issue. WHO USES FUSEDOCS? At various user group meetings I have discussed the use of Fusebox. Everyone seems to be using the coding methodology by NO ONE is using FUSEDOCS! The coders are structuring their code with Fusebox but not taking the time to use the design methods inherent in the development of FUSEDOCS. This has certainly been true in the last two large Fusebox projects I have been involved in. The developers do not want to spend 'coding time' developing Fusedocs and the managers have no interest in spending development time engaged in that level of planning detail. How are various developers planning their sites if they are not using FUSEDOCS? __________________________________________________________________ Wallace Randall ICQ#: 157983785 Current ICQ status: <http://web.icq.com/whitepages/online?icq=157983785&img=21> * <http://wwp.icq.com/157983785> More ways to contact me __________________________________________________________________ ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bV0Kx9 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
