Answer Part C

1. Compare the phases of the Rational Unified Process with the phases of the waterfall model.

Waterfall
Waterfall model is usually in an order or highly structured that required careful planning and
detailed task. The five-phase of the Waterfall model is planning, analysis, design, implementation,
system. It works well for a big or complex project and this model process suitable long-term
projects. Moreover, this model is not flexible, do not provide business value and the budget is
usually fixed.

Rational Unified Process


Rational Unified Process is a process and its support responsibilities within a development
organization. The intention of this process is to produce a high-quality software that meets the
client needs within the budget from the project sponsor. This process divides the project timeline
into four phase which is inception, elaboration, construction, and transition. Each of that phase
is multidisciplinary and done iteratively and concurrently. Also, the budget is a per-phase basis.

2. What are the key factors in selecting a methodology?

1. Clarity of User Requirements


2. Familiarity with the Technology
3. System Complexity
4. System Reliability
5. Short Time Schedule
6. Schedule Visibility

3. Describe the principle steps in the planning phase. What are the major deliverables?

Principle step in the planning phase


1. Project Initiation
Assessment of the project feasibility. The result of feasibility analysis and system
request are presented to the steering committee for approval. Then the steering
committee will prioritize project request. If the project is approved, we move to
step two.
2. Project Management
Prepare a project plan, controls procedures are established.

Major Deliverables in the planning phase


1. Feasibility analysis
2. Project plan
4. What are the roles of project sponsor and the approval committee?

Project sponsor role


1. Provide guidance and business expertise to the project manager.
2. Management decision-making group.
3. An arbitrator that may beyond the authority of the project manager.
4. Chairperson of the Steering Committee.

Approval committee roles


1. Decision making in the investment project.
2. Allocate resources efficiently.
3. Monitoring project performances that have been accepted.
