Pragmatic system construction guide
This guide describes MSF (Microsoft Solutions Framework) a methodology for building systems which Microsoft recommends. MSF includes mainly a process model, a team model, an application construction model and a deployment / supportability model.
MSF has similarities with other methodologies for software construction and includes things as use cases, object modeling, etc.
MSF is quite different from other methodologies; less formal than CMM; not object based as OOAD; not for extremely small teams like Crystal Clear.
The key value of MSF is its practical nature, it may however not be your best bet if the system you are developing has very heavy documentation requirements, depends on a sequential life cycle or you live in an organization at odds with the team model proposed.
