Analysis of successful techniques in the software development business / Alex Rivilis. by Rivilis, Alex Subjects Computer software -- Development   Computer programming management   Business -- Data processing   MSEM Thesis.   Project management Description:  vii, 87 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Contents:  Advisor: Kimbel Nap. Committee members: Gary Shimek, Gene Wright. Introduction -- The software development - key issues -- Case study: Lucent Technologies Warehouse Management System. The software development process is an incredible mixure of art and logic, creativity and formal rules, exciting breakthroughs, and tedious hours of testing. Nevertheless, key factors for the success of any software development project exist. The finished product must deliver value to its users. In order to achieve this goal, project scope has to be defined upfront. A well defined software development process and rigorous testing assure high quality results. All steps of software development are fully analyzed in this paper. The process starts with the definition of scope, and management of customer expectations. This is the foundation for a successful project. The next steps are design work and "actual" software development part. The customer demos, training and implementation follow. Customer support after software is installed is an integral part of the software project. The software development process heavily relies on people working on the project. Personnel management is one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of the software business. the ability to get the software geeks to finish the development on time and within budget is a must for the successful project manager. The project management itself is a difficult part in the process. Quite often the developpment goes into uncharted territories where planning is tough. Many software companies add "buffer" time of as much as 40% to the development plans to accommodate the "unknown" factor. The key issues of the software development process are highlighted in the case study of successful software implementation at Lucent Technologies by the team of software engineers led by the author of this paper. The successful installation of a warehouse management system alowed Lucent to reach the goals of improved productivity and inventory accuracy.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .R58 2001 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
