Methodology Overview

JBoss does not follow to the letter any of the established development methodologies. JBoss borrows ideas, learns from experience and continuously evolves and adapts its process to the dynamics of a largely distributed, highly motivated, and talented team.

The typical development cycle of a major JBoss product version is 3-6 months broken down into 1-2 month iterations.
