We will use an iterative software development methodology for our class project, combining elements of the Unified Process with Scrum. These are among best practices in today’s software development environment. These practices should help us to deliver a product to our client on time and that meets the requirements. In addition, learning about these practices will help you understand the development methodology used in a future employer. In this memo to your supervisor, you will summarize some current best practices and contrast our approach (unified process) with the older waterfall approach.
