*RTF requires feature count to grow from day one. Therefore the team must focus on features, not design or infrastructure.
*RTF requires feature count to grow continuously. Therefore the team must integrate early and often.
*RTF requires features to be tested by independent tests. Therefore the team has comprehensive contact with a customer.
*RTF requires that tests continue to pass. Therefore the tests will be automated.
*RTF requires that the curve grow smoothly. Therefore the design will need to be kept clean.
*With RTF, more features is better. Therefore, the team will learn how to deliver features in a continuous, improving stream. They'll have to invent agility to do it.
The agile methods Scrum and Crystal Clear implement RTF. "All" they ask is that the team ship ready-to-go software every iteration. Everything else follows. XP gives a leg up, in that you get a free list of things that will help.
