Line 1:

A '''collaborative development environment''' (CDE) is an an online meeting space where a software development project's [[project stakeholders|stakeholders]] can work together, no matter what timezone or region they are in, to discuss, document, and produce project deliverables. The name was coined by [[Grady Booch]].<ref>[http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/contentnr/cdeintro ''Q&A with Grady Booch: Collaborative Development Environments''] Interview with Grady Booch on IBM alphaworks (Dec 2006)</ref>

It is seen as an evolution from the [[integrated development environment]] (IDE), which combined programming tools on the desktop, and the extended development environment (XDE), which combined lifecycle development tools with an IDE (such as Microsoft's [[Visual Studio Team System]] and the [[IBM Rational Rose XDE]]); while the IDE focuses on tools to support the individual developer, the CDE focuses on supporting the needs of the development team as a whole.
