Enemies of software projects:
unclear, unstable requirements
inadequate customer communication
inefficient team communication
unecessary complexity
ineffective team behavior
How People Solve Problems
Software engineering models
Waterfall
Spiral
Controlled Iteration
Incremental Controlled Iteration
The Waterfall Model
Based on Construction Model
Easy to understand
Once a phase is complete, it is not revisited
Staff can specialize
'Assembly line' approach
Waterfall Model
Problems with the Waterfall
Software development is about problem solving
Requirements aren't fully known before design
design requirements evolve during coding, etc
The Spiral Model
Four Sectors
Pass through sectors for prototype
Another pass to get first Iteration
Repeat
More realistic than waterfall
Difficult and expensive in real world
Spiral Model
The Controlled Iteration Model
Four Phases:
Inception
Elaboration
Construction
Transition
Controlled Interation
Design activities
User level use cases
Package diagrams
Sequence diagrams
Class diagrams
Class implementation
System build
