Example of a project statement

Requirements:• I want to perform experiments in a simulated project

environment• I want to be able to play teams of software agents from

different vendors against each other• I want to verify hypothesis about the optimal type of team,

given project complexity and risks• I want to asses a psychometric profile of a person playing the

game (without having additional human players)

Payment:• Positive marks from SE1 and SE2

Fundamental question

When can we startprogramming?

Possible answer

When the project scope isdefined well-enough to

estimate time, and thereforecost of the project.

More questions

Not (very) helpful answers

1. Using business analysis methodsand tools (by asking “Why?” andmodeling systems)

2. You can’t (but nevertheless youshould try)

Choose proper Software Development Framework

Project:• Well-defined?• Repeatable?• Part of a

research?• Internal or

external?

Client:• Naive or

responsible?• Mature or a

start-up?• Technically

aware?

Development team:• Experienced?• Motivated?• Consisting of

experts?

Software Development Framework

• How to communicate?• How to divide project into tasks?• How to deal with risks and requirements?• How to assign tasks?• How to verify tasks completion?

Agile Manifesto

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing itand helping others do it. Through this work we have come tovalue:

• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools• Working software over comprehensive documentation• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation• Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value theitems on the left more.
