It forms a common understanding of the activities, resources, and constraints involved in software development. II. Every process should be the same for all solutions. III. It helps the development team find inconsistencies, redundancies and omissions in the process and in its constituent parts. Examiner: Robert Adjetey Sowah, PhD FACULTY A. Waterfall SSCIENCES A.
