Rapid Estimation Techniques - 1a Rapid Estimation Techniques - 1b Requirements: Assessing scope of the system requirements and the overall project. Architecture and Design: Developing an understanding of the solution from a technical perspective, creating a high-level design of modular components and their interactions, and setting standards for how common technical issues should be resolved. Development : Producing code in an environment specific to the culture of the project. Tasks are assigned according to individual skills, and development continues until goals or milestones are reached. T esting, Delivery and Feedback: Testing of individual component should be ongoing, with applicationlevel testing towards the end of the project -- ideally, involving customers to confirm that requirements have been met, or to identify changes that must be made. Plan-driven methodologies work well for small, well-defined projects with a limited scope of work and few variables. Due to the IT industrys rapid growth and progression, methodologies have had to evolve to get expansive projects with multi-million dollar budgets completed on time and on budget.
