Dave Higgins has been a student of software
development methods since 1975. Together with Ken Orr
and the late Jean-Dominique Warnier, Dave was one of
the principal architects of the Data Structured Software
Development (DSSD) Methodology, more widely known as
the Warnier/Orr approach. In the course of his career
he has performed literally hundreds of seminars on various
topics from program design and modification, to systems
and data base design, to requirements definition, to
planning and project management.
Dave is a noted author and worldwide lecturer. His
first book, published in 1979, was one of the first
on developing good programs for personal computers,
and has since been translated into over a dozen languages.
One of his more recent books, Data Structured Software
Maintenance, remains one of the few to address the
practical application of structured concepts to the
modification of existing programs. He is also the author
of Data Structured Program Design Workshop (with
Dave Scott).
Dave has worked with Ken Orr from 1975 off and on,
taking a few years off from consulting in the 1990s
to manage advanced (client-server) systems development
at a couple of Kansas City area Fortune 500 companies.
When the Dilbert strips on 1990s management style
started to be more painful than funny, he rejoined The
Ken Orr Institute as Senior Partner in 1997.
Since rejoining Ken Orr, Dave has been involved in
many systems planning and management, data sharing,
and Year 2000 awareness training and communications
planning.
