X-treme Project Management Issues (Project Management of O-O Developed Systems

Object oriented technology has matured over the past ten years and its use in industry has shown the usefulness of the technology in initiating and developing systems and injecting new life into legacy systems.

Many approaches to managing these levels have been proposed, within new development techniques. Notable developments include Contract-driven process lifecycle model, Extreme Programming (XP), Architecture Frameworks (Business Strategies to Implementation) and the SCRUM development Process.
