GROUP Activity: Who does what and when?

Within your software project group review the past three lessons and discuss the following:

• What software development roles are required for your project?
• What project management roles are required for your project?
• Are there any roles that would be beneficial to your project that are not listed?
• How are these roles distributed among the team?
  • Are there people with multiple roles or roles shared among multiple people?
• Who determines the timeline and deliverables for this project?
  • Is the timeline flexible?
  • Can you classify the deliverables as one of required/desired/optional?
• How often and in what format should communication be managed?

If you have been involved in a previous software development project, please share the following with your teammates:

• What practices worked well and could be brought into this and future projects?
• What practices didn’t work well and should be avoided in the future?
• Was the previous project larger or smaller than the current one and how would that affect your choice of management/communication?
