Descriptions
|
Closed Paradigm
|
A much stable and secure but less flexible and less inventive type of structure for a team, where the decisions are usually imposed by the top officials.
|
Lack of Coordination | A gap in communication among the leader and other employees may occur. It may cause conflicts between individuals or departments in an organization. Resource utilization is impacted in a negative manner.
|
Synchronous Paradigm
|
Communication among the team members is delimited as the problem is broken down into smaller pieces and the team is organized to perform their work in a distributed manner.
|
Excessive Communication
|
The performance of the team members is most likely to be decreased. Confidentiality of information may be compromised which can create many problems.
|
Software Project Management
| Concerned with the activities like planning, sequencing, and monitoring of project-related activities.
|
Spiral Model
| Relatively more appropriate for long-term projects and in a situation where the project members are having no or less history of working with similar projects.
|
Open Paradigm
| Provides flexibility and adaptive collaboration among team members. Team members are actively involved in the decision-making, planning, and implementation of the software product.
|
Democratic Decentralized (DD)
| Performance is higher in the case of less flexible tasks because of higher social interaction among team members. A task/activity is led by the coordinators on an ad-hoc basis.
|
Rapid Application Development (RAD)
| The project leader needs to engage the client/user for necessary feedback otherwise the desired quality/outcome of the developed software may be compromised by the development team. It is adapted with the aim of shortening the project completion time.
|
Controlled Decentralized (CD)
| A type of team structure where different activities are carried out by specific coordinators while subsidiary leaders have the responsibility of performing other sub-tasks. Both horizontal and vertical communication modes are conveyed.
