    This document discusses various approaches to software development lifecycles (SDLC) that could be applied to developing a web and smartphone application for a community board of realtors. It asks questions about choosing a predictive vs adaptive approach, estimating phases and iterations, prioritizing core vs supporting functionality, and taking an incremental development approach.

    Running Cases: Community Board of Realtors

    1. Compared to the Tradeshow application described in Chapter 1, how long might this
    project take, and which approach to the SDLC would be most appropriate?

    2. If you use a predictive SDLC, how much time might each phase of the project take? How
    much overlap of phases might you plan for? Be specific about how you would overlap the
    phases.

    3. If you use an adaptive SDLC, how many iterations might you plan to include? What use
    cases would you analyze, design, and implement in the first iteration? What use cases would
    you work on in the second iteration? In additional iterations? Think in terms of getting the
    core functionality implemented early and then building the supporting functionality.

    4. Let us say this project focused on Web access to the MLS. If you also plan to deploy a
    smartphone application for use by the public and by the agents and brokers, how might this
    affect your choice of the approach to the SDLC? What are the implications for including the
    smartphone application in the initial project versus having a separate project for wireless
    later?

    5. Consider using incremental development to include the Web application and the wireless
    support. Describe what would be included in the first and second deployments of the project.
    Take into consideration that you might want to work on some initial problem solving for
    requirements, design, and implementation of the wireless support at the same time you are
    working on the Web application.

    Part A: Short Question and Answer

    Q: What is the basic difference between the predictive approach and the adaptive approach?
    The predictive approach tries to predict the entire scope of the project and execute it in one
    large process, while the adaptive approach recognizes that the project changes as the users
    and development team learn and so the project has to adapt during its lifecycle.
    Q: What is the standard type of predictive approach called? How does it work?
    The Waterfall model. One phase completes, and the project team moves (falls) to the next
    phase.
    Q: What is the spiral model?
    The spiral model is an adaptive, iterative approach to the SDLC. Each trip around the spiral is
    an iteration and results in an additional deliverable.
    Q: What does incremental development mean?
    A: It means the system is developed in increments, also referred to as “growing” the system.
    Q: What is a walking skeleton? What does the name mean?
    It is a skeleton because it has very little functionality, i.e. very little “flesh.” It is walking
    because it can execute.
    Q: What are the three support phase activities?
