Why is managing customer expectations important at the time of project development so important? - Answers -In order to avoid disappointment when the final project is delivered.

"Be ready to adapt" is Principle 3 from the principles that guide process. The definition for this principle is: - Answers -Process is not a religious experience, and dogma has no place in it. When necessary, change your approach to constraints imposed by the problem, the people, and the project itself.

Which of the following traits BEST describes a successful software engineer? - Answers -Individual responsibility, acute awareness, robust attention to detail. General motors once had a software project that used the "follow the sun" development method. This means that when a team in one time zone was finished for the day, it would pass the project to the next time zone to continue development. This happened three (3) times a day so that the project development never stopped. Each location had its own group team but were also part of the wider international group team. What would be the hardest part of this development process for each group? - Answers -Making sure that details were clearly communicated to the follow-on group in order to continue with the project.
