Is the prototype-oriented approach best for your next technology initiative? Baseline has put together these files to give you an overview of how the spiral approach works. The Project Planner compares the costs and outcome of using the conventional waterfall method and the iterative, spiral approach for a hypothetical project.
The want ad seeking “sales-minded people” is vague. But if you call and set up an appointment, you get hired. The advertiser is ParaSoft of Monrovia, a southern California company building a niche for tools that automatically prevent errors during software development. ParaSoft’s goal is to turn all comers—the nontechnical,
The simple mission of the Software Productivity Consortium (SPC), an 18-year-old nonprofit group, is to help companies make better software. The idea is to transform a development shop into a factory that adheres to the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). It’s a five-level set of standards for building software as efficiently,
One participant says, “It may have been the greatest failure in the history of organized work.” Certainly the Federal Aviation Administration’s Advanced Automation System (AAS) project dwarfs even the largest corporate information technology fiascoes in terms of dollars wasted. Kmart’s $130 million write-off last year on its supply chain systems
The FAA’s Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) project echoes those corporate ERP war stories in which the benefits of a packaged software purchase prove elusive because of the need to customize it to match the organization’s existing operations. STARS is the new computer system for one of the air
Inside the Agency Jane F. GarveyAdministratorRole: Since she was sworn into office in August 1997, Garvey’s most significant course change at the 49,000-person agency has been to try to establish collaborative decision-making, involving unions, controllers and system maintenance personnel. Previously, she was the director of Logan Airport and deputy administrator
After Sept. 11, a key piece of FAA technology was deployed at the Colorado Springs headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Inside the military agency’s Cheyenne Mountain facilities now sits a duplicate version of Explorer, the master tracking system that displays all the commercial aircraft flying across
Delta Air Lines Flight 705 from Atlanta to Salt Lake City was at cruising altitude on Feb. 27 when a female passenger began to complain of severe chest pains. Fortunately, the tool was now in place that could help an air traffic controller quickly engineer an emergency landing route into
There is more to the FAA’s spiral development process than an iterative, try and try again methodology. “It is being commonly practiced—and in some cases, commonly malpracticed,” says Barry Boehm, Director of the Software Engineering Center at the University of California.
