Joint Application Development (JAD) is a collaborative methodology used in software development to gather and define software requirements rapidly. It involves bringing stakeholders, developers, and users together in structured workshops called JAD sessions. The sessions are facilitated by a JAD facilitator and result in the documentation of detailed requirements and design for the software application. JAD offers benefits such as improved requirements gathering, increased collaboration, and reduced misunderstandings. However, it also has disadvantages, including resource intensiveness and potential for conflict.
