Explain why it is important that software products are developed and delivered quickly. Why is it sometimes sensible to deliver an unfinished product and then issue new versions of that product after delivery? Scrum has been designed for use by a team of 5-8 people working together to develop a software product. a) What problems might arise if you try to use Scrum for student team projects where a group work together to develop a program. b) What parts of Scrum could be used in this situation?

You and your team have been hired to perform a system investigation for a fast food restaurant that wants to implement new tools and processes to improve its customer service. Currently, the restaurant has a poor reputation for not correctly filling customers orders and for taking too long to do it. Perform a functional decomposition to define the scope and basic requirements of such a system. Brainstorm some ideas to improve the situation, and choose one to pursue based on its technical, economic, legal, operational, and schedule feasibility.

SUBJECT: Software Engineering You are eliciting requirements for a new release of an existing product. For each of the requirements elicitation problems described below, list one elicitation technique that would address well each problem (one technique per problem). Briefly point out why this technique is suitable. You want to understand how users really use the existing system, as opposed to how they tell you they use the system You want to determine which are the most critical and needed features of a new proposed system.
Take into account a team size of seven to nine persons working on a sizeable project that has a well defined design and needs that can be foreseen with a certain degree of precision as an example. There is no need for teams to operate remotely since everyone is present at the same time. Which approach to incremental software development do you think would be best for us to use? In regard to this topic, what are your thoughts?
Suppose you have been appointed as a Software Architect, for a project of an Airline Reservation System. As an architect your job is to make key decisions for the design and construction of the software by involving all the stakeholders. Your decisions will make serious impacts on the long-term quality and success of the project. Write your views on the following by applying the concepts you have learned in the course: Elaborate the Program Testing Goals for your project. What’s the difference between Validation and Verification? How will you ensure V & V confidence? Devise an Inspection Plan for the project. NOTE: Complete and correct answer will be upvoted

Who do you need to work with to achieve these objectives in software design?What are some of the dangers associated with poorly designed software and insufficient software design specifications after a project enters the maintenance and use phase?A software design process is a specification for a software design that is delivered to the client or customer.This software design manual will teach you about the following topics:act as training material for any new project members interested in seeing how the software is implementedserve as objective proof that the designers did, in fact, implement the anticipated functionality indicated in the specificationsOnce implemented, the designers, code, and engineers should not be burdened with upkeep.
A new project has an average novelty for the software supplier that is going to execute it. Development flexibility is high, and requirements may change radically. The development team is all located at the same office and the software house as a whole tends to be formal in its standards and procedures. The product should be very reliable, and the algorithms are complex. The supplier would like to reuse the project with suitable modifications on further contracts. Developers are familiar with the platform and they are capable of conducting this specific type of project. The toolsets available to the development team are judged to be typical for this size of company, but schedule pressure is tight to meet a deadline.
In one of the papers we recently read “Storyboarding as a Means of Requirements Elicitation...” the conclusion started with: “Requirements Analysis is a complex process that involves users and developers during most of the software development cycle. At the beginning of the project, requirements are obtained using different techniques with all the stakeholders. Later, during development, requirements are refined and adapted to the development evolution, and it is necessary to keep users updated and take their feedback into account.” What is your perspective on integrating the user into the requirements and design process? How can we get users’ feedback effectively?
The board of directors of your company is considering a very robust software development project that will enhance efficiency and effectiveness of its operations as well as improve the productivity of its staff. As the Systems Analyst, you are nominated to be the project manager for this project. Required: Identify a specific software development project of your choice. For your project, (a). List the functional and non-functional requirements of the system. (b). Identify the stakeholders from whom you will gather these requirements, and justify your answer.
