A per-feature activity to produce the feature design package.
A number of features are scheduled for development by assigning them to a Chief Programmer. The Chief Programmer
selects features for development from his "inbox" of assigned features. He may choose multiple features that happen to
use the same classes (hence developers). Operationally, it is often the case that "sets" of features are scheduled for
development at a time by the Chief Programmer. Such a set is called a Chief Programmer Work Package. The Chief
Programmer then forms a Feature Team by identifying the owners of the classes (developers) likely to be involved in the
development of the feature(s) he selects for development. This team then produces the Sequence Diagram(s) for the
assigned feature(s). The Chief Programmer then refines the Object Model based on the content of the sequence
diagram(s). The developers then write class and method prologues. A Design Inspection is held.
