7. What software development process would you recommend and why?
8. Provide stories that you will use to develop the above systems. (Research on how to create stories.)
Explanation / Answer
Answer :
5. Yes
6.
Client and developer continuously interact in agile process and it gives the team to learn about new tasks that to be incorporated in existing system.
New tasks may need new interfaces to incorporate in the system. Using Agile these new interfaces can be designed and tested using prototypes.
Before implementing the above said prototype, prototype interviews can be performed so that design issues are resolved in initial stage itself.
Each sprint gives enhancements in existing system and thus in the Agile method the return on investment is early in the project life cycle.
7. Agile software development process model :
Agile model gives the developer the freedom to change the existing system and these changes can be done in a cost efficient way by providing new increments at each stage of development. Unlike other models, Agile helps to start the work as early as possible, because it takes less time for planning. Once planned and implemented Agile tooks feedback from customers and redesign if needed so that in effectively the customer gets the system what they really wanted. Another important point is even if some data are not currently available then also the project can be move forward with what it has and can incorporate the data once it is availbale and can make changes in the system.
