Integration Driven Development
Integration Driven Development (IDD) is an incremental approach to systems development where the contents of the increments are determined by the integration plan, rather than the opposite. The increments can be seen as defined system capability changes - "Deltas" (Taxén et al., 2011). The advantages compared to other incremental development models ( such as RUP and Scrum) still apply, such as short design cycles, early testing and managing late requirement changes, however IDD adds ''pull'' to the concept and also has the advantage of optimizing the contents of each increment to allow early integration and testing. Pull from integration and testing Pull, in this context, means that information is requested from the user when needed (or is planned to be integrated and tested), as opposed to delivered when it happens to be ready. Development planning has to adjust to the optimal order of integration. System implementation is driven by what is going to be integrated and tested. Sy ...

Incremental And Iterative Development
Iterative and incremental development is any combination of both iterative design or iterative method and incremental build model for development. Usage of the term began in software development, with a long-standing combination of the two terms ''iterative'' and ''incremental'' having been widely suggested for large development efforts. For example, the 1985 DOD-STD-2167 mentions (in section 4.1.2): "During software development, more than one iteration of the software development cycle may be in progress at the same time." and "This process may be described as an 'evolutionary acquisition' or 'incremental build' approach." In software, the relationship between iterations and increments is determined by the overall software development process. Overview The basic idea behind this method is to develop a system through repeated cycles (iterative) and in smaller portions at a time (incremental), allowing software developers to take advantage of what was learned during development ...

Rational Unified Process
The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is an iterative software development process framework created by the Rational Software Corporation, a division of IBM since 2003. RUP is not a single concrete prescriptive process, but rather an adaptable process framework, intended to be tailored by the development organizations and software project teams that will select the elements of the process that are appropriate for their needs. RUP is a specific implementation of the Unified Process. History Rational Software originally developed the rational unified process as a software process product. The product includes a hyperlinked knowledge-base with sample artifacts and detailed descriptions for many different types of activities. RUP is included in the IBM Rational Method Composer (RMC) product which allows customization of the process. Philippe Kruchten, an experienced Rational technical representative was tasked with heading up the original RUP team. These initial versions combined t ...

Scrum (software Development)
Scrum is a framework for project management with an initial emphasis on software development, although it has been used in other fields including research, sales, marketing and advanced technologies. It is designed for teams of ten or fewer members who break their work into goals that can be completed within time-boxed iterations, called ''sprints'', no longer than one month and most commonly two weeks. The scrum team assesses progress in time-boxed daily meetings of 15 minutes or fewer, called daily scrums (a form of stand-up meeting). At the end of the sprint, the team holds two further meetings: one sprint review intended to demonstrate the work done for stakeholders and elicit feedback, and one sprint retrospective intended to enable the team to reflect and improve. Name The term ''scrum'' is borrowed from rugby, where it is a formation of players. The term ''scrum'' was chosen by the paper's authors because it implies teamwork. The software development term ''scru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
System Anatomy
A system anatomy is simple visual description of a system, focusing on the dependencies between system capabilities. Overview The system anatomy was first used in a project at Ericsson, and Jack Järkvik is considered the inventor of the concept. After that, the system anatomy and the similar project anatomy (also ''integration anatomies'') have been used widely in different Ericsson projects and now they are being spread to other major companies with complex system development as well. Anatomies can be said to be a human centric way of describing a system, since they are used as a means to obtain a common view of the system under development. The anatomies are especially useful in development of large complex systems in Incremental and iterative development, incremental and Integration Driven Development, integration driven development, and as a means to coordinate Agile software development, agile development teams. Advantages and limitations The system anatomy, unlike its ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Project Anatomy
A project anatomy (also integration anatomy or organic integration plan) is a tool for integration planning that visualizes dependencies between work items in development projects. It is mainly used in incremental development and Integration Driven Development projects. Overview The project anatomy has evolved from the system anatomy and in its purest form the work items (called ''work packages'') reflect the development of system capabilities. Often a more pragmatic approach is taken, though, where work packages may contain other items with important dependencies as well, e.g. HW deliveries for embedded systems. Benefits * Simple * Easy to grasp view of what to do, what is done and the dependencies between work packages * Collaborative * Common view for developers, project managers and sponsors * Helps in finding and managing risks and delays * Can be used to manage dependencies between teams and sprints in large agile development projects Limitations * Can include, but ...

Product Development
In business and engineering, new product development (NPD) covers the complete process of bringing a new product to market, renewing an existing product or introducing a product in a new market. A central aspect of NPD is product design, along with various business considerations. New product development is described broadly as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale. The products developed by an organisation provide the means for it to generate income. For many technology-intensive firms their approach is based on exploiting technological innovation in a rapidly changing market. The product can be tangible (something physical which one can touch) or intangible (like a service or experience), though sometimes services and other processes are distinguished from "products". NPD requires an understanding of customer needs and wants, the competitive environment, and the nature of the market. Cost, time, and quality are the main variables that driv ...
