10 Years of Celebrating Indie Authors
"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”

A crucial skill for IT professionals is to have knowledge of the industry they are working in such as insurance, banking and automobile. Learning industry knowledge is not easy as there are multiple industries and its knowledge is vast, subjective and primarily available in unstructured formats such as books.
Knowledge Driven Development (KDD) is a knowledge management framework aimed at addressing this challenge. KDD is based on reuse of structured industry and enterprise knowledge to form digital project knowledge that in turn streamlines execution activities leading to quality software. Whereas KDD proposes a new project delivery methodology, Agile and Waterfall methodologies also stand to gain from its digital knowledge management proposition.
Industry knowledge structure of KDD is domain agnostic so the same structure can be used to learn multiple industries in a scientific way. KDD allows to formally seed industry knowledge in academia and in industry, it digitizes project knowledge bringing transparency in software development via exhaustive traceability between atomic pieces of knowledge both from business and IT.

Manoj Kumar Lal is a business analyst with Tata Consultancy Services since 1997 following graduation from IISc Bangalore and BIT Sindri. KDD was introduced by his first book ‘Knowledge Driven Development – Bridging Waterfall and Agile Methodologies’ jointly published by IISc Press and Cambridge University Press in June 2018. The current book simplifies the KDD proposition further so that its potential beneficiaries can visualize how it can assist them. His area of interest is software engineering and digitization of knowledge and has written both the books in his personal capacity.
