Project and Team Selection
Overview:
Introduction

Selection of Project:
– Each group is responsible for selecting a project.
– Before starting work on the project you must come
and see me during my office hours so that we can
decide on the scope of your project.
– Project selection should be finalized by the end of
Week 2 (Wednesday, Jan. 19). This means you
have to come and see me before Jan. 19.
– If you have difficulty in selecting a project I will
assist you.

requirements for a system that supports software
development!

Incremental Development (2)
Overview:
Introduction

Software specification, design and
implementation is broken down into a series
of increments which are developed in turn.

Gives customers some opportunities to delay
decisions on the detailed requirements of the
system.

Services are identified and a priority allocated.

Each increment provides a subset of the
system’s functionality.

Advantages:
– Customers do not have to wait for the entire
system.
– Customers gain experience using early increments
of the system.
– Lowers the risk of overall project failure.
– Most important system services receives the most
testing.
Entity-Based
Cap. Maturity
Disadvantages:
– May be difficult to map meaningful functionality into
small increments.


Change occurs sometimes (MTBC = PT):

– Change occurring during a phase might lead to an iteration of
a previous phase or cancellation of the project


“Change is constant” (MTBC << PT)
– Issue-based Development (Concurrent Development Model)
– Phases are never finished, they all run in parallel


Decision when to close an issue is up to
management.
The set of closed issues form the basis for the
system to be developed.
