Software Development Methodology:
Different methodologies in software development:
- Agile methodology
- Waterfall methodology
- Rapid application development (RAD) methodology
- Extreme
programming (XP) methodology - Rational Unified Process (RUP)
- SCRUM
Agile methodology:
This methodology targets the customer satisfaction by delivering the software components quickly and continuously to the customer. This process is carried over by an iterative process which uses minimum requirements.
Waterfall methodology:
Waterfall model is considered as activity based process. Here every phase of SDLC is being accomplished in sequential manner.
Rapid application development (RAD) methodology:
This method highlights huge user involvement in the rapid and evolutionary structure of working prototypes for a system that accelerates the system development methods
Extreme programming (XP) methodology:
This methodology is used to divide a project into four phases such as planning, designing, coding and testing. Here the developers are not able to move to the next phase until the preceding phase is complete.
Rational Unified Process (RUP):
This method is used for separating the development of software into four gates such as inception, elaboration, construction and transition. Every gate contains the software executable iterations in development.
SCRUM:
This method is based on team. The team is to delivering the small pieces of software using a “sprints” or “30-day interval” to reach a specific goal.

- How does a Solution Designer contribute to the user experience in software development projects?arrow_forwardDesign a development strategy for a complex software project, taking into account factors such as team size, budget, and time constraints.arrow_forwardImplementation alternatives that could be considered during the system development life cycle (SDLC).arrow_forward
- Some techniques and approaches used during system development will need to be named and briefly described.arrow_forwardWrite a project management Plan for Hotel System includes the design phase for the system.arrow_forwardWhat is the role of a project manager in a software development project, and how does it differ from a technical lead?arrow_forward
- System development methodology: how closely related?arrow_forwardUniqueCakes UniqueCakes is a company that builds customised cakes for clients. This mainly includes large cakes for any occasions. They need an electronic system that will keep track of all the projects and their progress. The client will approach a project manager and discuss the required cake. The project manager enters the requirements for the cake on the system and notify a designer of the project. The designer will create a possible design cake electronically on the system. The designer will notify the project manager of the final design via the system. The project manager will send the design to the client for comments or approval. The designer will make the desired changes until the customer approves the design. The bake department will create the cake from the design. A photo of the final cake will be uploaded on the system, by the bake department. Each cake comes with a special stand that is custom made for each cake. Once the customer approved the design, the project manager…arrow_forwardIn designing a system, game or any relevant tasks, a task analysis is needed. Explain the task analysis that you have implemented in your game project.arrow_forward
