The Process Model:
Adaptability
the framework activities will always be
applied on every project ... BUT
the tasks (and degree of rigor) for each
activity will vary based on:
the type of project (an entry point to the model)
characteristics of the project
common sense judgment; concurrence of the
project team

The Primary
Goal:
High Quality
Remember:
High quality = project timeliness
Why?
Less rework!

Still Other Process Models
Component assembly modelthe process to apply
when reuse is a development objective
Concurrent process modelrecognizes that different
part of the project will be at different places in the
process
Formal methodsthe process to apply when a
mathematical specification is to be developed
Cleanroom software engineeringemphasizes error
detection before testing
