Software Development Methodologies

Agile software development methodologies are attracting attention from academics and practitioners for planning and managing software projects. The eXtreme Programming (XP) challenges conformist wisdom regarding software system development processes and practices as agile methodologies. To work efficiently in the current software development practice, characterized by requirements fuzziness, XP moves away from document-centric operations into people-centric management. In the XP-based software project, the customers play an essential role, having multiple responsibilities such as driving the project, gathering requirements (‘user stories'), and exercising quality control (or acceptance testing). Besides, the customers must liaise with external project stakeholders (e.g., funding authorities, end-users) while maintaining the development team's trust and the wider business. The success of such software project management practices relies on the quality result of each stage of development obtained through rigorous testing. This chapter describes three characteristics of XP project management: customer role, software testing feedback, and learning.

Information Technology Application

This chapter discusses the difficulties organizations have experienced when attempting to develop a new information technology application. The reasons for these difficulties are examined. A methodology for teaching a Software Project Management course that prepares students for conducting a successful project is presented in detail. The author hopes that educators will find the concepts and techniques presented useful and incorporate some of them in their courses.
