Hmm.. CMMi? Are you referring to the more conventional SDLC process or a CMMi-certified company that has a process for streamlining or adopting a shorter development process for smaller problems?
"Delivery" really has different meanings for different situations :D Delivery might include passing different levels of testing... unit testing, integation testing, system testing, etc... and some require N test cases for M lines of code or M functions. If a company is level-5 cmmi, then it simply means it's on the process of optimizing.. it doesnt mean it has truly found an optimized process :D just bunch of BS talk. Especially if the company change/fire/hire employees all the time... the processes are only as good as the people who enforce and optimize such processes. Basically, I have seen people who know nothing about development, claiming to be applying cmmi-certified "processes" :D Mungkey's right... there is an intention for every action... many companies chose to pursue certifications because of adding weight to their fees and to their business ideas. For the companies that are truly practicing the concepts and ideals of what CMMi was built upon, the snake program can be done under 3 days(3 hours/day) or probably under 8 hours. They have probably have design and testing templates that already fit the problem profile presented by the snake program... and if their experienced dev people choose to shed off the shackles and jump directly to rapid coding mode, they could do the snake program under an hour. ----- Original Message ---- From: Carl Mañoso <[email protected]> To: Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 12:19:23 AM Subject: Re: [klug] request for estimate for snake program in C Don't know how long the freshmen can do it, but probably much much shorter than what it would take me. :) But I think 15 hours should be reasonable. Slightly more interesting is how long would it take a CMMi level 5 organization to deliver the same program? -- Carl _________________________________________________ Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/klug) Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph _________________________________________________ Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/klug) Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
