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…

Collaborative: Agile approach emphasizes, strong collaboration between the stakeholders involved in the project over contract negotiation [6] and being a Agile framework, Scrum embraces customer collaboration.

Who would have thought a free software could make such a huge impact on computers and the way it is used today. The open operating systems gives its users the freedom to change things and develop programs that people needed or that the user who wrote it needs to do some task. You cannot contribute open sourcing to just one person but the biggest contributor to open source is Linus Torvalds who created Linux. Linus Torvalds' creation of the Linux operating system was a great improvement to the…

Many people these days are guilty of being “software pirates”. “Software piracy is the unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted software. This can be done by copying, downloading, sharing, selling, or installing multiple copies onto personal or work computers.” (Business Software Alliance) They justify their actions by claiming they are stealing from the huge corporate company’s that are out there making money off of us and do not care about their customers. This way of thinking…

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…

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…

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.,…
