S2.5 Review Chapter 2

Choose the process: three projects, three answers

Problem

For each project, recommend a process (plan-driven, agile, hybrid — be specific: V-model, Scrum, Kanban, spiral…), justify it with Boehm and Turner's factors, and name one risk of your choice with a way to reduce it.

  1. PillPal — software for a hospital's automatic medicine-dispensing cabinet. 12 developers; must pass national medical-device certification; requirements come from pharmacists and regulations.
  2. StudyBuddy — as described in this course (5 students, one semester, users will change their minds).
  3. CityTax 2.0 — replacing a 20-year-old municipal tax system. 60 developers from three companies, fixed budget, the tax rules are stable but the old system's behaviour is poorly documented.

Finish with one paragraph: what do the three answers have in common?

Work it out on paper, in a document or here, then compare with the model answer. Your answer stays in your browser — it is never sent to or stored on the server.
