==The concepts behind Internet-speed development method==

The first concept that is very important to internet-speed development is the creation of a vision and [[scope (project management)]]. What this means is that in the beginning of the project a global definition of the system is created which explains what the system aims to be and what is within the scope and what is not. This is one of the fundamental steps as it gives the developers some guidelines as to what the system will be without freezing any requirements. The scope can be documented in a [[vision statement]].

Another very important concept within this method is scope management. The scope needs to be managed throughout the project to prevent [[scope creepingcreep]]ing which results in delays. The scope will be determined early and changes to the scope (like adding additional features which were at first considered beyond the scope of the project) will be evaluated and either accepted or rejected. Changes in the scope can be made but this will always be affected by trade offs between features, resources and time.

The internet-speed development method is very different from the traditional methods and therefore uses Agile method principles. It focuses on adaptation to requirements and as such is based on the basic principles of Agile software development.
