Document Summary

Itm 750- class lecture 2 [sep13]- project management and information. In early phases of a project life cycle: resource needs are usually lowest, the level of uncertainty (risk) is highest, project stakeholders have the greatest opportunity to influence the project. Predictive life cycle models: waterfall model: has well-defined, linear stages of systems development and support, spiral model: shows that software is developed using an iterative or spiral approach rather than a linear approach. Incremental build model: provides for progressive development of operational software: prototyping model: used for developing prototypes to clarify user requirements, rapid application development (rad) model: used to product systems quickly without sacrificing quality. Agile software development: agile software development has become popular to describe new approaches that focus on close collaboration between programming teams and business experts. It projects can be very diverse in terms of size complexity, products produced, application area, and resource requirements. It project team members often have diverse backgrounds and skill sets.
