Cycle Descriptions
Launch
–
–
–
–
–
review course objectives
describe the TSPi structure and content
assign student teams and roles
describe the customer needs statement
establish team and individual goals
Strategy
–
–
–
–
–
–
create a conceptual design for the product
establish the development strategy: decide what will be produced in
each cycle
make initial size and effort estimates
establish a configuration management plan
Reuse plan
Risk Management
Cycle Descriptions (Cont’d)
Planning
–
–
–
–
estimate the size of each artifact to be developed (SRS, SDS,
code)
identify tasks to be performed; estimate time to complete each
task; assign tasks to team members
make a weekly schedule for task completion
make a quality plan
Requirements
–
–
–
–
analyze need statement and interview customer
specify the requirements
inspect the requirements
develop a system test plan
Cycle Phases

Design
–
–
–
–

create a high-level design
specify the design
inspect the design
develop an integration test plan
Implementation
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
use the PSP to implement modules/units
create detailed design of modules/units
review the design
translate the design to code
review the code
compile and test the modules/units
analyze the quality of the modules/units
Cycle Phases

Test
–
–
–

build and integrate the system
conduct a system test
produce user documentation
Postmortem
–
–
–
conduct a postmortem analysis
write a cycle report
produce peer and team evaluations
Motivation (Teamwork)
The success or failure of a project is seldom due to
technical issues. You almost never find yourself
asking “has the state of the art advanced far enough
so that this program can be written?” Of course it has.
If the project goes down the tubes, it will be nontechnical, human interaction problems that do it in.
The team will fail to bind, or the developers will fail to
gain rapport with the users, or people will fight
interminably over meaningless methodological issues.
-- Tom DeMarco

Teams work to plan entire project
Work on cycle 1
Try to do some amount of coding
SRS – Addendum to Needs Statement
Design – Templates or UML or ???
Code – Try to deliver some code, so you can do the
implementation/test scripts
You have 3 weeks.
May use excel tool, or do manually with forms.
Turn in all artifacts except source code itself.
