1. Consider the criteria discussed in this chapter for choosing among the adaptive approaches to system development. Which CSS project characteristics favor a predictive approach? Which favor the UP? What characteristics might indicate use of a more agile approach? Which approach is best suited to the CSS development project?
2. Should RMO consider using purchased components within the new CSS? If so, When, should it begin looking for components? How will a decision to use components affect the requirements, design and implementation phases? If purchased components are used, should the portions of the system developed in-house also be structured as components? Will a decision to pursue component-based design and development make it necessary to adopt OO analysis and design methods?
