Study Notes

Project scope refers to all work involved in creating a project's products and processes. It includes what is included and excluded from the project.
A deliverable is a product produced as part of a project. The project will deliver a new website and mobile application for parents to access their children's educational and behavioral performance, integrating with a school registration system.
However, the integration with the school registration system and mobile application delivery are excluded from the project due to security issues, time limitations, and budget limitations.
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) captures all tasks involved in a project, breaking down complex tasks into smaller tasks for estimation and management.
It consists of different levels with specific tasks and durations, such as requirement engineering, design, implementation, integration, and testing.
WBS also shows dependencies between tasks to help manage the project effectively.
The process model (Waterfall, Evolutionary Spiral, Unified Process, Reuse, or Agile) affects WBS tasks' duration and dependencies.
Clear requirements, stable projects, and big projects are suitable for plan-driven models, while risky, complex projects and projects focusing on reusing components are suitable for agile models.
Plan-driven models offer advantages like a visible process, full documentation, continuous feedback, risk management, and total flexibility, but also disadvantages like late customer feedback, difficult changing, a hidden process, high cost, and more time needed.
Agile models offer advantages like continuous feedback, total flexibility, incremental documentation, reduced time, reduced cost, enhanced software quality, and easy changing, but also disadvantages like poor code structure and high maintenance.
