Brief description of the development plan

The development methodology I have selected to complete this project is the Extreme Programming methodology. Extreme programming is a methodology encourages the developer to start from the simplest form of the product.

This allows the development to be flexible to future developments and extra functionalities. And extreme Programming favors simple designs, common metaphors, collaboration of users and programmers, frequent verbal communication, and feedback. Since user involvement is a must in this project this will also make it flexible to user requirements and to change accordingly.
