Outsourcing made right
Outsourcing is hot! Every major corporation around the globe is
outsourcing all or part of their software development. The result is
mixed. Some companies are successful with outsourcing, but
unfortunately the failure rate is very high.
Unified Process Works through Iterations
Use-case driven and architecture-centric are two of the three keys
to the Unified Process. They have a clear technical impact on the
product of the process. Being use-case driven means that every phase in
the drive to the eventual product refers back to what users actually do.
It drives developers to assure that the system meets users’ real needs.
Architecure is about Everything
What is the most important thing to get right when developing a new
software system? You may think this a "stupid" question. You cannot just
ask that one question, you say. However, if I had to answer it--and I
had to pick only one answer, I would say "Architecture." Then I would
try to amplify that one-word answer.
Steps to an Architecture
The architecture is developed in early iterations of the very first
lifecycle of a new system. In the Unified Process it is primarily done
during the elaboration phase. Actually we can define the elaboration
phase as the one in which you need to get a stable architecture. If you
have not got a stable architecture you are not yet done with the
elaboration phase.
Use Cases and Architecture
Ivar discusses how use cases are used to drive architecture. If a software project doesn’t get started right, it is not likely
to end right. The tendency to rush into construction too soon is
starting wrong.
