Chapter 10, Problem 6E

Who is the best judge of effort estimates for project tasks and action steps? Why?

An agile project has documentation in the form of user stories and tests. A user story describessome functionality required by a user, while a test is an executable form of a user story and therefore directly related to it. Testing early is at the heart of agile development, which promotes, for example, that acceptance tests should be written for each user story before any code is written.  Assume the scenario of a university’s Student Information System: A university student canregister courses online and pay online using the system.  Suggest at least FIVE user stories as part of acceptance test for the above scenario. You must justify your answer with a brief description.

Write a proposal showcasing how the project can be better executed using the Agile Methodology. In your answer; Assume that the project will be developed and delivered within the same time frame (10 months). In your own words, explain how Agile software development can be implemented using the information provided.

The agile manifesto encourages us to value some items that improve agility over other items. What are those items? List the roles in a Scrum project and describe their responsibilities. Given the Final Project assignment, list three user stories and their acceptance criteria that are in scope. Given the lead up to identifying the scope of the Final Project assignment, identify two user stories that are no longer in scope. No acceptance criteria required. How does the story of the Melanesian cargo cult relate to establishing a successful process methodology for a specific project?

Select the most appropriate agile methodology for approaching the project for each of the five story problems. Justify your selection. In the “Methodology or Combination of Methodologies” column of the worksheet, list the methodology or combination (blend) of methodologies you selected. In the “Justification of Methodology or Combination of Methodologies” column, write a reflection (50-100 words) for each story problem that addresses the following: What is the specific problem in the scenario? Why did you choose the methodology or combination of methodologies? Because there is not necessarily one right or wrong answer, it is important to provide a clear justification for your choice. Cite evidence from the textbook or other sources in your justification. Explain how you think each selected methodology differs most significantly from a traditional project management approach STORY PROBLEM METHODOLOGY OR COMBINATION OF METHODOLOGIES JUSTIFICATION FOR THE METHODOLOGY OR…

The documentation for an agile project takes the form of user stories and test cases. A user story defines some feature that a user requires, while a test is an executable version of a user story and, as such, is directly linked to the user narrative described in it. In agile development, testing early is essential. For example, acceptance tests should be created for each user story prior to any code being produced is advocated as part of the agile development process. Consider the following situation involving a university's Student Information System: A university student may register for courses and make payments online via the system. As part of the acceptance test for the aforementioned scenario, please provide at least FIVE user stories. To be successful, you must include a short explanation to support your answer.

Write a proposal showcasing how the project can be better executed using the Agile Methodology.

As a Project Manager apply each of RAD, Rational Unified Process, Spiral Model, Agile-Extreme Programming, Agile-Scrum in your project, show diagrams of each of the models for your project and discuss the pros and cons of using such models for your software development project.
