Database and a development project system, method, and recording medium

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a development project program, the program causing a computer to perform:

• reading values from a database;
• classifying tasks of a project into a first capability-type including a foundational capability for the project executed by a first project development strategy and a second capability-type including an enhancement capability for the project executed by a second project development strategy, the foundational capability being a back-end layer for providing a functionality for the enhancement capability for the project to function;
• and
• calculating a switch point based on the values read from the database, the switch point being a time during the project when project development switches between the first project development strategy and the second project development strategy,
• wherein the database comprises a project repository database including values for at least one of a percentage of the tasks for the first project development strategy relative to the second project development strategy to be developed, a completion state of the first capability-type tasks, an estimated time for completion of the first capability-type tasks, dependencies between the first capability-type tasks and the second capability-type tasks, and availability of resources,
• wherein the calculating calculates the switch point based on a plurality of predefined switch point configuration rules set according to a percentage of a completion of the first project development strategy less than a 100% completion at which a necessary dependency of the dependencies for the second project development strategy to begin between the first capability-type tasks and the second capability-type tasks is completed such that the second project development strategy can begin, and the values stored in the database,
• wherein the foundational capability is delivered using a sub-system-focused development and the enhancement capability is delivered using a capability-focused development where the capability-focused development is dependent on the percentage of the completion of the first project development strategy less than the 100% completion for the capability-focused development to begin,
• wherein a switch between the first project development strategy and the second project development strategy is executed when the switch point occurs,
• wherein the foundational capability comprises a web-base type code to display a webpage,
• wherein the enhancement capability comprises a spreadsheet used to populate the display on the webpage, and
• wherein a completion of the web-base type code is required prior to beginning design of the spreadsheet.

A development project method, comprising:

• reading values from a database;
• classifying tasks of a project into a first capability-type including a foundational capability for the project executed by a first project development strategy and a second capability-type including an enhancement capability for the project executed by a second project development strategy, the foundational capability being a back-end layer for providing a functionality for the enhancement capability for the project to function;
• and
• calculating a switch point based on the values read from the database, the switch point being a time during the project when project development switches between the first project development strategy and the second project development strategy,
• wherein the database comprises a project repository database including values for at least one of a percentage of the tasks for the first project development strategy relative to the second project development strategy to be developed, a completion state of the first capability-type tasks, an estimated time for completion of the first capability-type tasks, dependencies between the first capability-type tasks and the second capability-type tasks, and availability of resources,
• wherein the calculating calculates the switch point based on a plurality of predefined switch point configuration rules set according to a percentage of a completion of the first project development strategy less than a 100% completion at which a necessary dependency of the dependencies for the second project development strategy to begin between the first capability-type tasks and the second capability-type tasks is completed such that the second project development strategy can begin, and the values stored in the database,
• wherein the foundational capability is delivered using a sub-system-focused development and the enhancement capability is delivered using a capability-focused development where the capability-focused development is dependent on the percentage of the completion of the first project development strategy less than the 100% completion for the capability-focused development to begin,
• wherein a switch between the first project development strategy and the second project development strategy is executed then the switch point occurs,
• wherein the foundational capability comprises a web-base type code to display a webpage,
• wherein the enhancement capability comprises a spreadsheet used to populate the display on the webpage, and
• wherein a completion of the web-base type code is required prior to beginning design of the spreadsheet.
