Agile Modelling - A complete example ??

[Balaji Loganathan]

I would like to know is their any articles, books available to show a complete example of a developing a project using Agile modelling.
Example: Design and develop a online pizza ordering project using Agile modelling.
of course programming can be based on java or .net or any..

What i am looking for is a example driven explanation of agile modelling...
Like..

Gather user requirements - How agile helps

What UI should look like - how to with agile

from UI/user requirements to model - how on agile

design model and data base - how on agile, what diagrams

Relationship between DB and UI - how on agile

Strong reusuable and extendable model inspite of platform independent clients.Client can be webservices, web UI, mobile. -how agile helps

Maintainance and growing trends - How agile helps.

Can you tell me some websites or books or where to start if nothing exists like above ?
Thank you

Have you poked around www.agilemodeling.com? There are a lot of examples posted there, in particular if you look at www.agilemodeling.com/artifacts/ there are links to a wide range of modeling artifacts, most of which describe how to develop a university information system. As far as a book goes, check out The Object Primer 3rd Edition (www.ambysoft.com/theObjectPrimer.html) which works through the full lifecycle and uses the university system as a running case study. There is also a running "problem set" of a bank information system which you can work through on your own as part of the questions in each chapter.

Just thought I'd go into a little more detail on a few questions

What UI should look like - how to with agile

At the agile modeling site I describe several types of models for UI development. The book includes an entire chapter on UI, going into greater detail by providing UI design and usability advice.

design model and data base - how on agile, what diagrams

I tackle this a fair bit at the Agile Data Site and in Agile Database Techniques. I also summarize this material, and extend it a bit, in The Object Primer.

Relationship between DB and UI - how on agile

In a properly layer app, which I discuss out to do in URL=http://www.ambysoft.com/theObjectPrimer.html]The Object Primer[/URL], there is no direct relationship between the two.

Strong reusuable and extendable model inspite of platform independent clients.Client can be webservices, web UI, mobile. -how agile helps

These are just very important requirements, no different than other important requirements. An agile approach allows you to prioritize, implement, and then obtain feedback on them quickly.

Maintainance and growing trends - How agile helps.

Do good design, implement high-quality code via a TDD approach, refactor both your object and database schema, and move forward.
