It's all about getting a tighter feedback loop on smaller chunks of work. It's meant to deal with specification drift, scope drift, and people talking past one another about the customers' needs. RAD can and is achieved without the dogma, process-heavy intrusion, and the dumbing down of Agile/Scrum/whatever. I've been practicing RAD for nearly 30 years quite successfully. As an individual developer; a lead of a small team; and as the architect of a large team of teams; the practice is essentially the same:
The feedback loops between levels are short; change requirements feed down from the top as they happen; inconsistencies are detected immediately they arise; and are corrected immediately. It works for any type of application; no matter how complex; or how large the overall team. Individual teams are small, and only interface with those immediately above and below, so the typical humongous status meetings don't arise. The design evolves as required and in parallel; loose coupled interfaces are enforced -- but fall out naturally; overnight integration builds tell everyone where things are and what needs immediate attention without all the extraneous process and paranoid navel inspection. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
