The characteristics of AM are that they the value “(a) individuals and interaction over processes and tools, (b) working software over comprehensive documentation, (c) customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and (d) responding to change over following a plan”[1]. AM concentrate on developing functionality over managing the development of functionality. The management of traditional software projects favors a well-planned approach – typically called the “waterfall approach” – documenting all project details before development starts. AM advocates creating a high level design of the whole system, then working on functionality in ascending order from highest to lowest in customer perceived business value. All AM assume requirements will change constantly so shorter development cycles are instituted to accommodate for the new or changed requirements. AM also assume close contact with the business (for the purposes of this paper, business, client, & user are used interchangeably) to answer any questions, and help resolve issues related to design, cost, and scheduling.…

Computer technology has gone from being undiscovered to being used globally. We live in an exciting time technologically. Over relatively short spans of time, technology has improved our lives in many ways. Advances in computing and technology save lives, make day-to-day living easier, and have improved quality of life for billions of people. The impact that computing has on the world is fascinating to me. I have spent the last few years studying programming, software development, and computer programming and have felt great satisfaction in learning about what makes up this computing technology.…

Dealing with an increasingly volatile organizational environment is a serious challenge for managers of any software development project [11]. Traditional formal software development methodologies can be characterized as reflecting linear, sequential processes, and the related management approaches can be effective in developing software with stable, known, consistent requirements. Yet most real-world development efforts are much more likely to be conducted in more volatile environments, as organizations adapt to changing technology, markets, and social conditions. Requirements for systems must be able to change right along with them, often at “Internet speed” [3]. Even seemingly minor changes can produce unanticipated effects, as systems become more complex and their components more interdependent. Project management approaches based on the traditional linear development methodologies are mismatched with such dynamic systems.…
Software requirements can help a user understand why a product is needed. Not all requirements are at the same level. The software requirements are statements of what the system is designed to do, not necessarily how it will be done. The process of requirements can be broken down into discovery (elicitation), analysis, modeling and documentation, communication, and validation (Schedlbauer, 2011). The requirements will also describe what the finished product will be like. The requirements should also include descriptions of…

As future Information Technologists, being exposed to a lifetime’s worth of software’s and various computers is inevitable and will be a part of an undoubtedly coming routine. This endeavor well opens our minds to the risks we are about to experience and should be ready for. This research is launched covering this topic not only for us IT students but for the society in general to be well aware of the ill effects of what’s in front of us and what is yet to come in the future.…

The Aim: 1. To empower students by enabling them to build their own applications. 2. To introduce students to some effective tools to enable them to enhance their knowledge, broaden horizons, foster creativity, improve the quality of work and increase efficiency. 3. To enable students to learn to use the World Wide Web in order to gather knowledge and communicate with students and the academic community all over the world. 4. To enable students to learn to process words and numbers, analyze data, communicate ideas effectively and make the optimum use of computer resources. 5. To help students learn fundamental concepts of computing using object oriented approach in one computer language.…
