Study Notes
Project Management Overview
- Project management is a structured guide for teams to manage projects.
- This guide includes planning, processes, and communication techniques.
- Experience and good planning help avoid common project pitfalls.
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- SDLC is a framework for managing systems development.
- It helps produce high-quality software that meets customer expectations.
- The SDLC stages include planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
- Each stage has deliverables, and activities must be completed before moving to the next one.
Waterfall Model
- A sequential and linear software development method.
- Each stage must be completed before proceeding to the next.
- Strengths include simplicity, ease of use, and easy documentation.
- Limitations include inflexibility and difficulty adapting to changing requirements.
- Best used for projects with understood requirements, such as porting existing products.
V-Model
- An extension of the Waterfall Model emphasizing verification and validation at each stage.
- Each development phase has a corresponding testing phase.
- Strengths include early error detection, suitable for safety-critical projects.
- Limitations include inflexibility to changes and high upfront planning requirements.
Iterative and Incremental Model
- Divides development into smaller, manageable pieces with continuous improvement at each iteration.
- Functionality is added incrementally, and existing functions are refined based on user feedback.
- Allows for adjustments based on user feedback.
Agile Methodology
- A flexible and iterative approach to software development, focusing on collaboration and feedback.
- Aims for frequent and small improvements, adaptation, and customer input.
- Agile principles emphasize working software, customer satisfaction, and adaptability.
- Common Agile approaches include RAD, Scrum, XP, ASD, FDD, Crystal Clear, DSDM & RUP.
Rapid Application Development (RAD)
- An iterative approach to software development with limited upfront planning.
- The iterative phases include business modeling, data modeling, process modeling, application generation, and testing.
Scrum Model
- An agile framework focusing on small, frequent releases called sprints.
- The scrum process uses sprints (iterations) to complete smaller segments of the project.
- This iteration cycle includes planning, development, and testing.
- Scrum roles include Product Owner (PO), Scrum Master (SM), and Developers (Dev).
General Conclusions
- Project management focuses on guiding efforts toward the desired outcome.
- SDLC is a systematic approach to software development.
- Several models exist (Waterfall, V, Iterative & Incremental, Agile, RAD, Scrum) each with distinct strengths and limitations.
- Project success is largely affected by scope determination, time management, risks management and effective communication.
