This helps ensure that everyone knows what 's going on right from the outset. The amount of detail included should be sufficient for the reader to understand the basic purpose of the project and to determine, in principle, the overall feasibility of the project objectives and plan. The PID is supported by many detailed planning documents that may not be entirely completed by the time that the PID is prepared.
Answer #3: One must say that one does not estimate the entire task by estimating the coding only and then applying the ratios. Language code is only one- sixth or so of the problem and errors in its estimate or in the ratios could lead to ridiculous results and data for building isolated small programs are not applicable to programming systems products.

    Robert, I couldn't agree more with you about the affect this resrarch project had on the families and public that were affected greatly by this project. It shocks me that the researchers would both lie and create false hope for the loved ones, that they had given their family members a voice. My question for you is what do you think their reason for lying was?

I would also like to mention that your view on the perfect grammar and spelling of someone who is mentally challanged is spot on.…
