Nov 20 - Dec 6: Understanding and analyzing business, economic, and policy constraints
We will study the nontechnical forces that constrain economic and business settings of software development projects. We will use internationalization as a setting for understanding legal and policy constraints. We will view software development as a value-creating activity and see how economic models can guide software design decisions. We will see how business considerations can be stronger forces than technical considerations. |
