Q:1- Choose appropriate process model. Give valid reason of its use. Also explain why you do not use other models. The scenario: Meeting room for the software engineering group at CPI Corporation, a (fictional) company that makes consumer products for home and commercial use. The team: sana, engineering manager; sara, software engineering manager, Adil, software team member; Taiba, software team member, and Fiza, software team member. Sana: So let's recapitulate. I've spent some time discussing the Safe Home product line as we see it at the moment. No doubt, we've got a lot of work to do to simply define the thing, but I'd like you guys to begin thinking about how you're going to approach the software part of this project. sara: Seems like we've been disorganized in our approach to software in the past. Fiza: I don't know, sara, we always got product outthe_door. sara: True, but not without a lot of grief, and this project looks like it's bigger and more complex than anything we've done in the past. adil: Doesn't look that hard, but I agree . . . our ad hoc approach to past projects won't work here, particularly if we have a very tight time line. tight time line. sara(smiling): I want to be a bit more professional in our approach. I went to a short course last week and learned a lot about software engineering_. __- good stuff. We need a process here. adil (with a frown): My job is to build computer programs, not push paper around. sara: Give it a chance before you go negative on me. Here's what I mean. sara: So anyway, it seems to me that a linear model is not for us ... assumes we have all requirements up front and, knowing this place, that's not likely.: Yeah, and it sounds way too IT oriented . . . probably good for building an inventory control system or something, but it's just not right for SafeHome. Taiba: I agree. fiza: That prototyping approach seems okay. A lot like what we do here anyway Taiba: That's a problem. I'm worried that it doesn't provide us with enough structure. sara: Not to worry. We've got plenty of other options, and I want you guys to pick what's best for the team and best for the project
