Projects
Best Practices – a set of approaches to software development, proven in many real-life projects, which when used together are aimed at addressing the causes of problems in software development. An interesting fact is that the “best practices” so named not because they can easily identify their contribution to the success of the project, but rather for the simple reason that they apply to every organization has achieved sustained success in the field of software development.
As can be seen, the resultant product is as if some life-cycles of (claims processing, design, coding and testing) using a model of a waterfall. Blue line shows the magnitude of the risk of project failure. Decomposition into subsystems has long been used in the development process to reduce the complexity of separately developed module. However, in this case, the point is to not only split the tasks of structurally into modules, but also the design process in time. It is necessary to allocate the work relating to the most significant risks in the initial iteration, before the development invested substantial funds.
Certainly, from a management perspective, this approach is much more complicated, but gives a realistic framework for managing risk and complexity of the project. Phased approach in the model’s “Waterfall” is much easier in terms of formal project management functions, but does not provide sufficient handling the project, and all the problems associated with errors or omissions of the initial stages, it appears only in the integration process.
