- Aim: Accelerates the SDLC process
USP (Unique Selling Point)
- Heavily emphasises on rapid prototyping and iterative development
Why it was developed?
- To provide a model that allows for rapid iterations of development
How it differs from other models?
- Multiple prototypes follow the same steps but require an automation tool to generate the application tool
Steps (diagram)
- Business Modelling
- Data Modelling
- Process Modelling
- Application Generation
- Testing and Turnover
When is the client involved?
- Quick reviews throughout the project
Key Benefits
- Reduce risks and efforts of the developer
- Helps client to take quick reviews throughout the project
- Encourages customer feedback; provides improvement scope for project
Key Drawbacks
- Dependent on strong team and personal performance to clearly identify exact business requirements
- Only works on systems that can be built on this methodology
- Requires highly skilled developers and design teams
- Not applicable for developer to use on small budget projects. Cost of modeling and automated code is expensive
When it should be used?
Medium and large sized projects that are handled by teams of developers / designers]]> 2019-01-25 17:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/324425856 q160096 https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/324425943 Characteristics
- Disciplined software management process
- Continuous Cycle
- Flexible Evolution
- Client Involvement
USP (Unique Selling Point)
- Allows for frequent alterations and changes to the software project
Why it was developed?
- Developed early on to allow for multiple iterations of software to be made following the same stages.
- Allow for direct communication between developer and client
How it differs from other models?
- Defines the requirements and plan stages as seperate
Steps (diagram)
- Requirements
- Plan
- Design
- Develop
- Release
- Track and Monitor
When is the client involved?
- Throughout the model
Key Benefits
- Adaptive approach allowing for client's to make regular changes with little impact
- Direct communication and direct feedback from client
Key Drawbacks
- Focuses on software and not the documentation
- Project can get off-track should the client not be clear about the final outcome
When it should be used?
- Projects that include small, high functioning, collaborative teams]]> 2019-01-25 17:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/324425943 q160096 https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/324426110 Characteristics
- Iterative, multiple steps/sprints to create application
USP (Unique Selling Point)
- Same types of activities as the waterfall methodology, but rather than implementing them as sequential phases, they are encapsulated into multiple iterations, or sprints
Why it was developed?
- Agile framework for managing knowledge work, with an emphasis on software development.
How it differs from other models?
- It is done in multiple different sprints to create the application
Steps (diagram)
-Product backlog
-Sprint backlog
-Scrum tasks
-Working system
-Funding & feedback
When is the client involved?
-Throughout the entire model
Key Benefits
-Allows for rapid prototyping.
-Keeps Customers in the Loop.
-Encourages Consistent Productivity.
Key Drawbacks
-Abundance of Meetings
-Potential Difficulty With Estimations
-Requires Lenient Leadership
When it should be used?
-When the requirements are most likely to change.]]> 2019-01-25 17:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/324426110 q160096 https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/325333222 2019-01-29 11:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/325333222 q160096 https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/325333397 2019-01-29 11:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/325333397 q160096 https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/325808874 2019-01-30 13:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/q160096/o1spbs7qq1nm/wish/325808874
