You have been appointed a project manager for a major software product company. Your job is to manage the development of the next-generation version of its widely used word processing software. What team structure would you choose and why? What software process models would you choose and why?

Solution

To manage the growth of the next generation account of its widely used word processing software, the process model which meets the necessities to make the account in the given time limit should be used because the deadline has been defined already.

The software process model to be considered is Rapid Application Development (RAD) model because of the deadline for the project completion. The previous version of word processing should be modified. As RAD is a linear sequential software development process model that highlights an extremely short development cycle.

A component based manufacture approach is used. There are many teams working on different components during the time limit declared.

The random team structure is preferred because the work is experimental and business deadline is there.
