Introduction What is a process model? A Process Model describes the sequence of phases for the entire lifetime of a product. Therefore it is sometimes also called Product Life Cycle. Our process model is called Wave process model because it is similar to the ocean’s wave. Iterations are represented by high tide (first iteration) and low tide (final iteration). It cycles along iterations to make sure that every phase is complete, to deliver a high quality software you have to do your best in every phase. In wave process model there are four phases: • Inception • Structural architecture • Construction • Deploy and maintain Each of these main phases usually has some sub-phases. The sub-phases may occur in more than one main phase each of them …show more content…
“On some projects, the requirements are not "uncovered" as much as they are "discovered." In other words, the solution is brand new and needs to be created as a set of ideas that people can agree to. In this type of project, simple brainstorming may be the starting point. The appropriate subject matter experts get into a room and start creatively brainstorming what the solution might look like. After all the ideas are generated, the participants prioritize the ones they think are the best for this solution. The resulting consensus of best ideas is used for the initial requirements.” (Tom Mochal, 2008). • Define topics and time limits: Define precisely what will be the focus of the brainstorming session, and how long it will be allowed to go on. • Select participants: Decide who needs to participate in the brainstorming session in order to achieve its purpose. • Determine evaluation criteria: Decide how the ideas that come out of the brainstorming session will be judged afterward. Be sure that the evaluation does not go on during the brainstorming …show more content…
“Encourage a free flow of ideas. This requires careful facilitation to ensure that participants feel comfortable with adding any idea to the list, and that no criticism or even discussion of the ideas goes on during the brainstorming session.” (Jill Liles, 2012). Questionnaires/Surveys “Questionnaires are much more informal, and they are good tools to gather requirements from stakeholders in remote locations or those who will have only minor input into the overall requirements. Questionnaires can also be used when you have to gather input from dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people.” (Tom Mochal, 2008). “Surveys allow you to collect information from many people in a relatively short period. A survey can be an effective way to collect quantitative information; however, writing the questions requires great skill and care to avoid ambiguity that could compromise the utility of the results.” (Jill Liles, 2012). • Define purpose, target people, and logistics: Decide what you are trying to learn from the survey, who you should target in order to achieve those goals, and how the survey should be distributed (for example, paper, e-mail, internet, telephone). • Choose survey
The software development life cycle (SDLC) is a framework defining tasks performed at each step in the software development process.
Each group, in order, should present their slides. After the presentation, review the individual assignment. You may either brainstorm possible responses as a class, or individually. Conclude by returning to the essential question for the entire six or seven days. I like to use a “tag board.”
I believe the results of this survey to be accurate as the survey was conducted in a fair and professional manner. However, I also discovered how easy it can be to manipulate the data and the opinions of participants to favor a single viewpoint. Surveys are an important method of gathering, summarizing and presenting large amounts of data. However, when relying on polls to form opinions or make decisions, people should consider the source, look for any conflicts of interest, contemplate other avenues of information and draw their own conclusions.
When conducting these surveys, you must know whom your target audience is and how you want to structure your survey so there isn’t any wasted space. Once the structuring of the survey is complete and results are gathered, be sure to include your management team and how you want to dissect the results. The parameters (Action, Belief, Understanding, Satisfaction, and Participation) are the keys to use when analyzing your results. “The Definitive Guide to HR Communication” suggests that you take your time and analyze your results with your management team to decide how to go about future changes based on your
Brainstorming, teacher guide students through activities in which they aim to get students, first, to activate any background information they have on a topic and second to extend their already existing background knowledge on the topic.
Brainstorming can take many different forms. In the text, How To Write Anything, A Guide and Reference, John J. Ruszkiewicz and Jay T. Dolmage (2015) see brainstorming as an answer to a dilemma that many writers find themselves in. At times writers have a problem with narrowing down a topic. Brainstorming can be completed by writing down every possible topic, idea or facts. These thoughts can be written on paper, on sticky notes or even typed on a computer. The important aspect of this step is to be able to visualize all of the information. (Ruszkiewicz and Dolmage, 2015). “Freewriting” is a tool that can also be utilized. When freewriting, writers will just write on a topic nonstop for a period of time with no regard to how the writing is structured or formatted. Thirdly, online searches can be an effective method to brainstorm ideas. This third step is intended to get creative juices flowing and help to generate ideas for the writing project (Ruszkiewicz & Dolmage, 2015). This information can all be than used in your first

The group should come up with a list of tasks that need to be completed to lead to project completion. Assign tasks amongst the group, with this idea in mind: tasks are one thing that can be done by one person, not a major responsibility or series of tasks that complete a goal. The tasks should be completed by everyone, then put together into a whole to meet the goal.
Step 1: Determine project goals. It is important to define what the project is, as well as what the expected inputs and outputs are. According to Project Management Tutorial Online, in order for project goals to be accomplished, this must be a team oriented decision. “Give everyone the opp...
when you must solve a problem or come up with a new idea, you need to listen to what other people’s ideas are so that together you all
The questionnaire is a self-completion questionnaire which is sometimes called a self-administered questionnaire. It is to say that respondents completed the questionnaires themselves (Bryman and Bell, 2003). The research conducted an online survey through a professional website called ‘survey monkey’. There is no doubt that it is a cheaper and easier way to collect information for researchers. In addition, it is convenient for respondents as well.

...sis, which could make all results invalid. With any research projects, limitations will be present. It is important to attempt to eliminate some of these causes in order to complete a thorough, accurate study. In future projects, this study could go about researching the issue in different ways. Perhaps using a larger sample size would be conducive for accurate results. A larger sample size helps reduce and even out any possible errors caused by those who do not answer truthfully. Also, keeping the surveys mainly anonymous would help to receive more truthful and accurate responses from participants. Participants may be fearful of judgments on open interviews or phone interviews, which could affect responses. In order to obtain as accurate results as possible, a future study would need to find ways to survey participants in a confidential way that feels comfortable.
