TRADITIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES - Software Design for Six-Sigma: A Roadmap for Excellence - page 53

2.5 SUMMARY

This chapter presented the various existing software processes and their pros and
cons, and then classified them depending on the complexity and size of the project.
For example, Simplicity (or complexity) and size (Small size, Medium size, or Large
Size) attributes were used to classify the existing software processes that could be
useful to a group, business, and/or organization. This classification can be used to
understand the pros and cons of the various software processes at a glance and its
suitability to a given software development project.
