Re: Entity-Relationship Module UI Specifications

This approach fits very well into agile approaches like scrum.  Where  
for a sprint (30 days) you choose a portion of the application to get  
done.  The idea is to get complete (fully tested) the tasks by the  
end of the sprint.  After the sprint is complete you then review what  
was accomplished.  For the next sprint you look at the highest  
priority tasks that are left.
