It is a software development process used by small teams who have rapidly changing requirements. With regard to students, all students that are studying software development modules are also faced with this problem where by the requirements are continuously changing as they get deeper within their project. This paper is to show if extreme programming is actually helping students become more productive regardless of the ever changing requirements. Context or background to the research problem In this day and age the most widely used form of agile development in software development is extreme programming which was proposed by Kent Beck in 1996. Many parameters contribute to the success of XP. Researchers concluded that using XP in an educational domain has many benefits, where they have seen that less skilled students were able to show more progress than they would have if a traditional methodology were used.(Assassa, Mathkour, & Al Dossari). XP offers a number of practices, values and principles which are advised to be adopted in order to run a software development project(Assassa et al., 2006). These values include...

...studied mathematical formulas that would allow me to find the optimal solution. In this paper, I will use both linear optimization and goal programming to take a number of sets of data to analyze and discover the optimal use of various constraints of resources. The paper will be divided into three different sections with a specific method applied in the first two sections, and a final section to describe the possible errors in the solutions presented in the prior two sections. In the first section, I will use linear optimization to take various sets of resources and distribute them appropriately among various products to find the best allocation to achieve maximum revenues. Linear optimization is the name of a branch of applied mathematics that deals with solving optimization problems of a particular form.1 Put simply, linear programming is finding the best outcome possible using a linear mathematical model. The constraints are linear inequalities of the variables used in the cost function. This method is the best available and of the most use given the present goal of achieving the maximum revenue possible for the company. In the second section, I will use goal programming to take into account the second set of constraints that faces many companies—labor. Since ALDI was a private company that sold its 1 Schulze, Mark A. "Linear programming for optimization." Perceptive Scientific Instruments, Inc (1998). 3 own manufactured products, I also had to study the labor that was utilized...

... The range of problems and issues to which management science has contributed insights and solutions is vast. It includes scheduling airlines, both planes and crew, deciding the appropriate place to site new facilities such as a warehouse or factory, managing the flow of water from reservoirs, identifying possible future development paths for parts of the telecommunications industry, establishing the information needs and appropriate systems to supply them within the health service, and identifying and understanding the strategies adopted by companies for their information systems. Scientific Planning Successful management relies on careful coordination, often using scientific methods in project planning. For example, critical path analysis allows us to identify which tasks in a project will take the longest or adversely affect the length of other tasks, permitting us to focus on those tasks. Computer models can also help we determine utilization and recommend more effective usage. In addition, this type analysis allows us to develop proactive strategies for handling outages and...

...Development 1 Table of Contents ← Chapter Overview ← Learning Objectives ← Notes on Opening Case and EOC Cases ← Key Terms 2 Chapter Overview There are two closely related yet independent concepts in this chapter. The first important concept is that there are two types of Systems Development Life Cycle approaches—a predictive approach and an adaptive approach. The second important concept is that there are two types of development methodologies—a structured approach and an object-oriented approach. These are two separate concepts. Projects can be any mix of these two approaches, the approach to the life cycle and the approach to the methodology—predictive with structured, predictive with object-oriented, adaptive with structured, or adaptive with object-oriented. The chapter first presents and explains the differences in the life cycle approach—the predictive and the adaptive approaches. These two approaches are really a continuum and any give project may have elements of both approaches. The predictive approach to the SDLC is used for projects that are well understood and low risk. The adaptive approach to the SDLC is used for projects that are not well understood and are higher risk. Adaptive SDLCs are more iterative and allow the project team to adapt the project to changing circumstances. The other important concept that you should learn from this chapter are the difference between the two main methodologies to system development...

But about producing and selling the products made by programming (languages) as well. There are over 300 different ("common") computer languages in existence, apart from the various dialects stemming from one of them. Most of them can be classified in definable groups, but others don’t belong to anything. Some because they are rather new or the use of them was or is never wide spread and only used by a small specialized professionals or groups of scientists requiring these dialects. This is often the case with a specific language that was designed for just one purpose, e.g. telecommunication or supercomputing. Some languages are even dead languages, some others are revived and expanded upon again, and there are...

...A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS SELECTION: AN ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS AND ZERO-ONE-GOAL PROGRAMMING APPROACH Salah R. Agha School of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Islamic University-Gaza, Gaza Strip, Phone: 970-599-746-533, aghasr@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This study uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Zero-One Goal Programming(ZOGP) to select the most favorable industrial projects from the viewpoints of three stakeholders, namely, govern mental, consultants and academics. Therefore, it is the purpose of this paper to help reach a consensus among the stakeholders for selecting certain projects using weights obtained by AHP as inputs to (ZOGP) model. This is first done by identifying the projects from each individual stakeholder's viewpoint. Further, an aggregate model that simultaneously combines the viewpoints of the three stakeholders is built assuming that the three stakeholders have equal weights. Results show that the aggregate model does strike a balance not only among the conflicting criteria, but more importantly, it strikes a balance among the different stakeholders. Therefore, the aggregate model would make it easier for stakeholders to reach a consensus. Keywords: Multi Criteria Optimization; Project Prioritization; Integrated AHP-ZOGP; Multi-stakeholder. 1. Introduction Traditional methods used in project selection usually justify the projects using low level capital budgeting which works well for investments with clearly...

...Collaborative Safety-in-Design Process Marc Weinstein1; John Gambatese, M.ASCE2; and Steven Hecker3 Abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of a large-scale safety-in-design initiative during the design and construction of a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Drawing on multiple data sources including individual interviews, group interviews, construction documentation, and an expert panel involved in the initiative, the writers identify 26 potential design changes on the project and assess the importance of timing, trade contractor involvement, and the type of design change in determining whether a proposed design change was ultimately integrated into the final construction plans. The writers further consider whether adopted design changes would have occurred in the absence of the safety-in-design initiative and whether the accepted design changes ultimately impacted construction site safety on the project. This analysis of a full-scale safety-in-design initiative provides important insights into how injury prevention efforts in the construction industry can begin upstream by involving designers, engineers, and trade contractors in preconstruction processes.
