Introduction It has been said before that, “building software is more like creating a work of art, it requires creativity in design and ample craftsmanship to complete”.(3) That statement couldn’t be more true especially as we move further into the 21st century. Companies worldwide realize that producing a product of high quality is exceptionally important and should be a huge consideration when planning a project. As a result, many different methodologies have been developed in order to better…

Measuring Agile Success Agile methodology is an iterative approach typically used in software development as an alternative to the traditional project management. The approach emphasises on building the software incrementally from the beginning instead of delivering everything at the end, and solutions and requirements evolve sequentially. Product is broken down into incremental builds which are provided in iterations. Each iteration lasts typically almost one to three weeks, and requires cross…

throughout the software development, which is suitable for medium and large scale projects. On the other hand RUP model has some shortcomings as well, such as rapidly requirement changes not being recommended in RUP, which tends to be slow and over-budgeted; reputation in the sense of small and fast paced projects are substandard. As we are also aware of Scrum is a framework, which is not providing proper plan for software development, like a development process to define Software Development…

In a typical Information Technology department there are usually at least 2 teams. The development team that creates systems or software and the operations team that keeps the system or software running. Separation of these two teams leads to problems as the organization grows. Typical problems I have experienced pertain to more projects or work than resources available, a single person holding all the information or being the go-to person for work in the department, and finally not passing on…

Parker 1. Describe Larman’s treatment of iterative, evolutionary and agile programming. According to Larman, software development is a method used to create, design, and maintain software. In particular, the prevalent Unified Process (UP) is an iterative software development method used to build object-oriented systems. Larman describes the iterative development and Agile Methods as a process of organizing a short series of small projects with fixed time constraints, known as iterations,…

Agile working methods give the ability to be flexible in uncertain situations, which then brings a decisive competitive advantage. Agile is deeply rooted in software development. In 2001, an international community of seventeen developers formed twelve principles for agile work. The manifesto was written to uncover better ways of software development. There are four key principles the manifesto drives towards. The authors of the Agile Manifesto attach people particularly higher importance than…

LOC and FP estimation are distinct estimation techniques. Yet both have a number of characteristics in common. The project planner begins with a bounded statement of software scope and from this statement attempts to decompose software into problem functions that can each be estimated individually. LOC or FP is then estimated for each function. Alternatively, the planner may choose another component for sizing such as classes or objects, changes, or business Baseline productivity metrics (e.g.,…

Agile development: Scrum Methodology Introduction: Today a major challenge that is being faced by the Software Industries is their wiliness to choose and implement the current trending agile methodologies and how the framework can be implemented and make it running. When compared to the traditional approach of the Water fall model, where development is handled as a linear series of event from conception to production, I would recommend Scrum as its approach is granular and phase wise. The term…

Software Engineering is a very detailed field that explains the process of producing a software in a systematic way. Not only that, but it provides solutions that makes sure everything meets the deadlines provided by the customer and the least amount of resources are being used while doing so. However, according to an article posted on Capterra, only a third of the projects were completed or finished on time over the past year. This is a very disturbing number, considering how much companies…

where the restrictions and access are integrated with external media and implemented across the component. This document is directed to all the participants within the hospital sector staff, patients, doctors and developers. The main objective of the software is to take in information that is provided by patients and keeps it hospital database “Requirements Analysis,…
