The
discussion of the avalanche case was extremely valuable and productive. The
case discussed the sudden avalanche faced by a group of mountain climbers, the
problems faced by them and the solutions they were taking in that direction. We
discussed a range of solutions and also a lot of answers to the most interesting
question- “What saved Saul?”
After
that, we discussed what are the key features required in a team to manage it
effectively which was quite much in association with the avalanche case
situation as there also the lady was trying to save her husband with a friend’s
help. The features ranged widely and few examples were trust, training &
education, presence of mind, confidence, faith, preparation, mutual understanding,
cooperation and a calm mind etc.
The
activity theory and its implementation to software engineering included the subject,
object and labour areas. Organigraph teaches us a diagrammatic representation of
all the aspects and associated areas of product development. This approach make
us realise that almost every aspect of product development revolves around and
is directly associated with the customer like maintenance, support, product
management, sales, support and development. The Software Development life cycle
involves Feasibility, investigation, analysis, design, implementation and
review & maintenance. I have noticed that there are many different forms of
SDLC studied earlier and now but the essence of every cycle remains the same.
In all the stages of SDLC especially during requirement analysis, implementation
& evaluation, it is important to actively involve the customer as well.
The
Kongregate games case actually turned out to be very complicated for me. It
involved some complex (according to me) calculations which I was not able to understand
properly.
