A client asked me if I knew anything about the HOME development method. I, together with wikipedia and acronymfinder, drew a complete blank.

Has anyone here heard about a development method called HOME?

+1  A: 

The closest thing I found that mentioned a HOME development model was this document on Google Books. Apparently, it stands for Holistic, Open Multimedia development Method. But without context, I can't be sure this is right. But my best guess is that if this isn't right, it's another acronym.

I've never heard of it, either.

I'm sure there's a way for you to garner insight from your client as to what he means.

Perhaps you could ask something like, "In what context are you interested in knowing more about HOME?"

The best answer to this is to follow this link and read the shrt description of the method by the authors themselves.
