Program Plan Intro
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:
This method is 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:
In this methodology, the team is to delivering the small pieces of software using a “sprints” or “30-day interval” to succeed a specific target. The term “sprint” means duration of two to four weeks to complete a part of project.

Formal technical review (FTR) makes the project more manageable. Comment.
Suppose you are working as a lead developer for a software house (This software house is a new startup so the developers are not well trained) and you are asked to deliver the project before the estimated time with the same available resources (i.e. neither the salary nor the practitioners are added).
In this kind of situation:
Which type of risks are identified?
Discuss how would you plan the situation being a team leader
(hint: Contingency plan)?

а.
What would be the scale factor in this case?
b.
- hat would be the estimate of effort if the size of the application was estimated
as in the region of 4000 lines of code?
C.
What would be the impact of all effort multipliers on the project estimation?
It's possible that a miscommunication between users and designers can compromise the success of a certain project.

- A project's chances of success are significantly reduced when users and designers do not communicate effectively with one another.arrow_forwardSuppose you have been appointed as a Software Architect, for a project of an Airline Reservation System. As an architect your job is to make key decisions for the design and construction of the software by involving all the stakeholders. Your decisions will make serious impacts on the long-term quality and success of the project.
