  1. Chapter 8 Self Check

  2. 1. What are the sections of a Software Development Plan? • Project overview, high-level functionality, project staffing, software process, schedule and effort estimates, measurements, risks, software tools, and hardware, software, and personnel support.

  3. 2. How does a Software Project Outline compare with a Software Development Plan? • In general, a Software Development Plan (SDP) is a more detailed version of the Software Project Outline (SPO).

  4. 3. Name the intended audience of a Software Deveopment Plan? • You and your team. The SDP acts as a script that the team can follow throughout the project.

  5. 4. What information in each section of the Software Development Plan? • Project Overview • This section of the SDP draws the important high-level portions of the project together. • High-Level Functionality • This section of the SDP outlines the significant functions the software product will perform to meet customer needs. • Project Staffing • This section of the SDP describes the software engineering roles the team will require and the number of personnel that will be applied to the project. • Software Process • This section of the SDP is used to give an overview of the software process the project will use.

  6. Schedule and Effort Estimates • This section of the SDP contains a high-level project schedule with immovable milestones and synchronization points which will illustrate the project’s path to you team. • Measurements • This Section of the SDP specifies what measurements are collect when and by whom, and where they are stored during this project. • Risks • This section of the SDP sets the tone for risk identification throughout the project. It should contain the top risks, their likelihood, and their impact. • Software Tools • This section of the SDP specifies the tools to be used on this project and relates each tool to the task and/or product the tool supports. • Hardware, Software, and Personnel Support • This section of the SDP outlines needs and support in each area where supported may be needed.

  7. 5. Why would a Software Development Plan change during a project ? • SDPs change because as project managers, we can never be 100% certain what the future holds. As various aspects of the project change, the SDP must change to match those changes.

  8. 6. Who are the best reviewers of a Software Development Plan? • Other experienced project managers.

  9. 7. What is the best type of review for a Software Development Plan? • Deliver the SDP to participants early enough for them to review it, and then hold a meeting to go over the SDP.
