Implementation Of Incremental Development Process
incremental development process makes it the opposite to the rigid requirement needs of the
Waterfall method. Agile methodologies are open to change as the project starts and progresses. The
contrasting requirements need of the two methodologies, is one of the main contrast points in
today's project life cycle processes. There is a constant struggle between the two processes even in
today's business landscape. I have worked at Google as a program manager – mobile and after
Google, I worked at a satellite manufacturing company called Space Systems Loral. The former is a
software company and latter is a hardware company. At Google, they have embraced agile
methodologies for software development, as the company is very progressive in nature. They are
also very open to feedback from their users, and therefore agile allows them to take in product
suggestions and address users' needs with no predetermined rigid requirements from clients or users
for initial requirements. Work is done in mini project or sprints format and when there is a need to
shift directions, everything already worked on is scrapped if not necessary, and then a complete reset
occurs. Since the project's initial framework is not known at the time the project starts, the final
product can deviate drastically from what was initially envisioned. At Space Systems Loral, being
that it is a hardware satellite manufacturing company, they inherently have to adopt the waterfall
methodology for their needs.

The first phase is assessing the personal resources needed for the project; a project manager who
will be spending the bulk of his or her time overseeing this project. This will involve IT determining
the contract employees that will be needed for the second phase of the project as well as Operations
determining who will be members of the process team. Once all of this is determined, the
contractors should be brought in and work immediately begun on upgrading the programming
language of Nationals to a modern language. As soon as the testing teams are established, the
development queue will need to be assessed. This step will likely require three to four contractor
coders and their rates. Testing teams will require 22 staff members from through the organization,
with a suggested break–down of two team members from Finance, three team members from
validation, one team member from billing, six team members from interior operations, six team
members from exterior operations, two team members from procurement, and two team members

Change Of Software Development Process
There was a need to change our software development process to something that was more
transparent, collaborative and iterative. There were few options available that suited our needs
however it wasn't an over night change in methodology. We tried few options like Feature Driven
Development methodology and also for Rapid Development methodology for some user experience
focused applications. However the neither of those were successfully able to resolve effective work
partition and collaboration between teams physically located in different geographical locations.
This led us to try some other agile methodologies like Scrum and Extreme Programming. We were
successful in resolving a lot of management issues with scrum. Extreme programming ... Show more

Solution Implementation
Since past two years we have been using, under the umbrella of Agile, Scrum with Extreme
programming for new application layer teams and Kanban for service layer as well as production
support teams. The implementation started with lot of training for Scrum. Not only we hired trained
scrum masters, we sponsored a lot of technical as well as business leaders to take Scrum Master or
Product Owner certification. There was task force setup to form move Agile Transformation
initiative with well–defined goals. It also took lot of real estate restructuring within our office space.
Since all the technical teams were transformed into scrum there was not need to have office
cubicles. Hence the whole floor was transformed into multi group tables where each team sat on one
table. All the developers were also provided laptops to be flexible in moving across teams if there
was need to stand up or tear down a team. Training was the key aspect to make Agile transformation
successful. There was multiple mandatory training sessions setup for all employees. Also each teams

The Drug Development And Approval Process
As mentioned in class, as well as in the Krishna (2008) article, the drug development and approval
process is an extensive and costly endeavor. The goal of experimental medicine is to increase the
efficiency of drug development by providing a better understanding of the drug's mechanism(s) of
action, dose response, efficacy, and safety, allowing the process to be accelerated for the most
promising and efficacious candidates (Krishna, Herman, & Wagner, 2008). Preclinical testing begins
with identifying the ideal drug target. The target should be disease–modifying and/or have a proven
function in the pathophysiology of the disease. Target expression should not be uniformly
distributed throughout the body. There should also be a favorable IP condition allowing the drug
freedom to operate without competition. If the druggability is not obvious, a 3D–structure for the
target protein or a close homologue should be available for assessment. The target should also have
favorable 'assayability' enabling high throughput screening. To identify these targets there are many
strategies that can be utilized such as: genomic analysis (phenotype analysis, genetic association,
gene expression profiling, etc.), pathway analysis, and activity–based proteomic profiling (Frank &
Hargreaves, 2003; Lipsky & Sharp, 2001; Krishna, Herman, & Wagner, 2008). After conducting

The Current Product Development Process
Secondly, the current product development process needs a timely interaction among different
departments in order to detect problems in a relatively early period of the process; the traditional
approach would not meet this needs (Yelkur et al., 1996). Thus, the new product development team
is required to be made up of members from different background, such as engineering, marketing,
and management, so that they may work closely in introducing new products. As a result, the
democratic atmosphere of the work place is crucial for the process. Amabile (1998) and Amabile et
al. (1999) argue that freedom in processes promotes their motivation and helps employees make the
most of their expertise.

Then, the ideas from brainstorming may experience the Deep Dive Approach, by which discarded
ideas are archived and top solutions are selected to client meeting. After communicate with client,
feedback may be given for further prototyping or contribute directly for manufacturing.
Three kinds of unique features contribute to the IDEO's philosophy of "fail often to succeed sooner".
Firstly, the quick prototyping enables the project team to make mistakes to find the appropriate
solutions. In other words, it is similar to the method of trial and error, and follows the principles of
the three "R's": Rough, Rapid and Right. This is supported by some experience of IDEO. During the
early stages of the design process, IDEO generate as many ideas as possible. Team members' task is
to dump ideas, and they have no responsibilities to the unsuccessful ideas in this period. They
prepare to fail a lot so that the early prototypes are crude, which would not waste the precious time.
In addition, instant interaction among project team members and clients ensure that the products are
consumer–centered and members in the project are actively participated. The playroom atmosphere
in IDEO ensures the instant communication between members to exchange latest insights and ideas,
which would enhance their understanding of the ongoing project, because democratic environment

The Software Development Process : Execution Strategy
Sotera's Software Development Process – Execution Strategy Sotera has attempted to evolve with
emerging development technologies in times past, however, majority of the specialized service
offerings that we provide have become progressively focused toward the intelligence market and or
Cyber and Data Solutions and not so much strictly software development efforts anymore.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the traditional waterfall methodology and some elements of
agile are utilized in support of client requirements; typically specific to what he client desires. On
the occasions where we are requested to propose the best solution to client requirements, we often
propose a modified agile methodology which blends traditional elements of software
implementation methodology with agile. Sotera proposes the use of a general Enterprise Application
Implementation Methodology (EAIM) for each development project that we pursue. Within our

Design Process And Development Lifecycle
User centred (UCD) is an approach that supports the entire development process in which a product
is developed for the end users needs, not a product that is going to force the end user to change he's
actions to use the product. The users needs, wants and limitations are a focus at all stages within the
design process and development lifecycle. Using the UCD methodology optimizes the final product
for the end user. Typical UCD activities are broken down into four phases in the development

When a product is in its design stage any problems that occur to the user will be easily changed.
Also when a product goes live there shouldn't be many amendments, this will save the

United Technologies Corp.'s (UTC, NYSE:UTX) Building & Industrial Systems division. Onity has
set the standards for electronic door locking systems with installations of more than 4 million
throughout the world and was second to none in the Hospitality, Corporate, Education, Government
and Marine markets since 1984. With the flagship products such as Advance RFID, Advance, HT24,

properties in 115 countries. However, fierce competitive products launched by the rivals like Salto
and Ingersoll Rand had forced Onity to dive into the market for a narrow styling locking system.
The sleek designed locks from Salto in particular were eating into the luxury hotels' market of Onity.
To keep up with its number one position in the industry, Onity management decided to develop a
narrow style lock. However, they failed to follow best practices in the industry, which ultimately led
them to stop a very ambitious product development. Onity had the greatest industrial technological

The Agile Software Development Process Essay
Motivation Over the last several years, agile software development processes have become
increasingly popular. According to Fowler (2003), the agile software engineering processes attempt
to enable more flexible and adaptive software development than the traditional software engineering
processes offer. Agile practitioners consider documentation as an important aspect for their projects
but there is too little internal documentation available in their projects (Stettina and Heijstek, 2011).
Although the documentation is mentioned, it is not anchored in the original process that relies on
verbal communication (Schwaber and Beedle, 2001). Verbal communication is susceptible to lapses
of memory and after some time it gets progressively harder to recall design rationale. This problem
is compounded by team turnaround (Stettina and Heijstek, 2011). The main objective of
documenting a project is to instruct consumers about the structure of the system, its functionality,
operability and the design structure in case there is need to redesign the system. The primary
consumers of the design documentation are those who maintain or upgrade the system. Other
stakeholders, such as users, testers, and project managers may also need to know about the system
(Selic, B., 2009). However, according to Bran Selic, (2009) software developers do not like to
document, as it has no value for them. Even the agile manifesto, issued by the software industry's

Social Process Theory : Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory Of...
Social Process Theory
Lawrence Kohlberg was a psychologist known mostly for his research of moral psychology and
development. He became popular in the late 1950's when he published his theory of moral
development. Moral development represent an important role in our social interactions.
Understanding why and how individuals make decisions regarding moral dilemmas can be very
useful in many situations. Kohlberg's theory focuses on the thinking process that occurs when one
decides whether a behaviour is right or wrong. He believed that social relationships and culture were
central to understanding children's moral development, and he believed moral development occurred
in six stages. Erik Erikson is another psychologist who proposed a psychosocial theory of human
development. Unlike Kohlberg, Erikson's theory stretches the entire lifecycle and making the
developmental process an ongoing lifelong process. According to Erikson's theory, people must
make it through eight sequential developmental stages, during which they either develop the
mandatory skills needed to become successful, happy members of society, or they will fail to
successfully pass the stage and remain at that current developmental stage. Both psychologist
focused on specific characteristics of human development, but their theories helped me realize the

A New Drug Development Process
Introduction: A new drug development process starts with animal testing, before it is been tested in
humans. These animal studies are designed to ensure that the drug is effective and safe in animals.
Moreover, the results obtained should be reproducible. But even the reproducible results on animal
studies cannot provide relevant prediction of the safe and effectiveness of a new drug. Scientists
often stipulate the structural and physiological similarities between human and animals as a reason
for performing animal testing and then relating or extrapolating the results for the first in human
clinical testing, also known as Phase I clinical trials. Although, it is very clear that the human life
expectancy is much higher compared to animals, because of the way things metabolize in human
body, or to the environment a human body is exposed to or due to the minute genetic difference
between human species and some other species. Also, diseases which are imposed by genetic
engineering into the animals during animal studies differ significantly than the natural occurrence of
a disease. Scientists are aware of these flaws that come with the use of animal model testing, like
drugs that may be safe and effective in animals might not necessarily be safe and effective in
humans. One such example is "Thalidomide", which was used in 1950's as a sedative product and

This concept is not entirely new as most of us are using this from past many years in one form or
another using emails and WWW. But now days the concept has revised too much. Users can access
the resources directly through the internet; there is absolutely no need of having the direct physical
access to the resources within the organization's premises. The concept is based on service
provisioning where the services can be easily provisioned and de–provisioned as per the user's
request and demand. This is very beneficial for the users as they do not have to pay for the entire
service, they will pay as per its use, which reduces the total cost. This concept ahs in turn invented
some new concepts like mesh computing, pay–per–use service, cloud platforms, etc.
This is very important to investigate this area as it reduces a lot of development cost and the
development time too. It makes the access to the services as very easy and comfortable job. A lot of
research is going on this topic to further improve its efficiency and effectiveness.

The Process Of Human Development
Introduction The process of human development as well as all the achievements that are made by
men are closely linked to the aspect of creativity. In the past, a number of scholars have carried out
research on creativity from a number of aspects like that of studying the 4P model. In most of there
researches, a number of measures were used in differentiating those abilities that were termed as
high and low (Lin, et al., 2012). Additionally, in finding the potential that people have regarding
their creativity, most of the scholars have applied the psychometric approach while applying the
cognitive approach in the process of developing solutions to a number of creative problems that are
identified in the society. In their previous studies, scholars have found that there are a total of two
creativity measures that tends to involve two different processes that are usually correlated with
varied cognitive factors. Additionally, the performance of individuals based on the two developed
measures have found not to be correlated in anyway (Lin, et al., 2012). As such, the hypothesis of
this study will be to find out how personality traits and gender correlate differently with the
divergent type of thinking and creative problem–solving abilities in accordance with the dual–

The Process Of Ordinary Cognitive Development
Introduction
The process of ordinary cognitive development has often been viewed as an independent, isolated
progress due to inherent, individual, and identically produced growth. However, in current literature,
there has been a growing consensus that socioeconomic status, and its subsequent resources, cannot
be abstracted from the process or success of cognitive development.
In one study, through the investigation of relationships between socioeconomic status and brain
morphometry, socioeconomic disparities were clearly associated with differences in cognitive
development, in other words, "income was logarithmically associated with brain surface area"
(Noble, 2015). In another study, brain development was exemplified through language development,

Is Children’s Development a Universal Staged Process or a...
Is Children's development a universal staged process or a social and cultural process?
There are three main approaches to child development, the scientific, the social constructionist and
the applied approach. Each of these approaches look at children's development from a different
stand point. I will go on to explore each approach in turn and how they can help us answer the above
question.
The scientific approach to child development seeks to explain the facts about child development. It
does this by devising theories which are then tested through observations and experiments. A classic
example of this is Jean Piaget (1896–1890) who was one of the most influential theorists in child
development. Piaget built up a theory about how ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Different cultures, religions and social economic conditions have different expectations and beliefs
around childhood. These have also been different throughout history. For example in Victorian
Britain, children were expected to work in the home, field, streets or in factories. However in
modern Britain we expect our children to spend much of their childhood learning at school. Another
example is, Maya's (U212 Video 1, band 1) experiences of childhood in the poor area Chittagong
being different to the twins Yasir and Yamin's experiences in middle class Chittagong. Each have
different expectations of their roles within society according to their social boundaries, gender,
family and beliefs.
Central to the social constructionist approach is the concept of competing discourses of childhood. A
discourse is a particular way of thinking or a particular view point that is influenced by our gender,
language, history, beliefs, experiences and social boundaries. There are numerous discourses but a
romantic discourse sees children as inherently good; a child would only do terrible things if
damaged in some way. Contrary to this is the puritanical discourse which sees the child as inherently
evil, doing evil things because they are wicked and need punishing. Using the social constructionist
view allows us to recognise that a child who is a killer can be seen through these two very

Changes And Development Of The Aging Process
Epigenetic changes are currently recognized as part of the aging process and have been implicated
in many age–related chronic diseases such as AD (1–3). The term epigenetics includes a variety of
processes known to regulate gene expression in a stable and potentially reversible way, without
altering the primary DNA sequence (4). Since epigenetics allow for the integration of long–lasting
non–genetic inputs in the genome, research on age–related disorders have recently focused in
epigenetic mechanisms, and a growing number of epigenetic alterations in AD have been described
recently (5). The best characterized epigenetic mechanisms include DNA methylation, histone
posttranslational modifications, and non–coding RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs). It is
becoming increasingly evident the interplay between these mechanisms to establish the epigenetic
states and expression patterns of many mammalian genes (1–3). For instance, it has been described
that trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me3) by the histone methyl transferase SUV39H1
is required for recruiting the DNA methyl transferase DNMT3b to pericentromeric repeats in order
to allow heterochromatin structure (both H3–K9 methylation and DNA methylation are considered
hallmarks of mammalian heterochromatin) (4). In turn, miRNAs can also control other epigenetic
mechanisms; for example, miR–204 can target histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) (5), while miR–148
and miR–152 are reported to influence DNA methylation

purchase food. They may sit down at one of the 68 seats in the dining room and get full service from
a waitperson. A separate take–out counter services those who wish to pick up their food. Most take–

The main goal in Phase I is to find out if the investigational new drug is safe. In this first phase of
human testing, testing determines the correct dosing and exposes the most common side effects. If
the investigational new drug is found to be safe, Phase II of human testing can begin. The main goal
of Phase II is to find out if the investigational new drug is effective. Unlike in Phase I, the patients
tested in Phase II are not healthy. In this phase, testing determines whether the drug works on
patients it was designed to help. Results are obtained by comparing the group of test patients to
other groups taking a different drug or taking a placebo. Phase III is the first large–scale trial of
human testing. This phase can only begin if the new drug shows to be effective in the phase II.
Phase III seeks to further determine the effectiveness of the drug. This is done by testing the drug on
different populations, meaning that testing will be done on more people, testing will be done on
different drug doses, and the drug will be tested on patients who are also taking other drugs. If
Phases I through III show the investigational new drug to be safe and effective, then the

Introduction New products are introduced to the market in order to fill a gap a consumer believes to
exist. Therefore new products satisfy the needs and wants of the market. Firms benefit greatly from
the successful introduction of these new products into the market. As a result, firms spend a
considerable amount of time, money and resources on new product development. This report is
going analyze the new product development process. The report is also going to examine eight steps
needed to complete a new product development process. Summary of the New Product
Development process New product development is used by firms in order to create and introduce
new products to the market. According to Casselman & Nadeau (2008), the new product
development process is part of the strategic process used by firms in order remain competitive.
Firms ensure that any innovation is protected by patents or legal barriers in order to introduce the
new product in the market before any competitors as well as limit any possible competition. The
concept of new product development begins with perception of a market gap. Once the opportunity
has been identified, senior management creates an environment where by idea generation and
screening is encouraged. In fact, Kachouie & Sedighadeli (2013) state that managers must not only

The Development of Marketing and the Marketing Process
Having a well–planned out strategy created by your marketing team is essential to your
organization's success. IT will help you to achieve that goals that you set for the organization and
help in attaining the profitability that every business person wants to achieve.
But before we get into how marketing came about and how it evolved we have to understand what
marketing is and what marketing has made marketing as we know it today. According to the
American Marketing Association, marketing is "the activity, set of institutions, and processes for
creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers,
clients, partners, and society at large (American Marketing Association, 2013, para. 1)" With that
being said marketing really started to show up in the early 1900's when people started to realize that
there was a correlation between buying power and demand. In addition to the correlation it was
realized that buying power and demand could be manipulated in favor of the seller with the help of
advertising. The sellers were realizing that they could take their products and pare it with a
perceived value and more people would be attracted to it and purchase the products or services.
Well now that we know that sellers could add value to their products

Additionally, marketers may use an unstable product spec and scope creep. This means that the
marketers might begin research and then start to make assumptions about what the consumer wants,
so they will rush into developing the product when there are still several unknowns, or the "scope"
or function of the product keeps changing. This, in turn, will lead to failure down the road because
once the product is on the market there may be reasons to backtrack and fix things that were hastily
decided upon. Next, a company may have dysfunctional product teams which essentially means that
the company is not working together effectively to ensure the success of the new product.
Oftentimes, a company will pass the product along to different sections without collaborating
together which ends up creating inconsistencies and dysfunctionality within the product launch.
Another reason products fail is because they have too many projects in the pipeline and lack focus.
For example, if a company is working on launching several new products and dedicates time to
both, they will lose focus on each idea and those products will suffer. Workers are stretched too thin
and there ends up being flaws or issues with the final product. Lastly, companies may not have the
proper skills, competencies or knowledge needed to create the product. The process might begin
with a great idea, but if the right

The team process happens in all the stages of team development and helps the team members to
complete their tasks in an effective way (Engleberg & Wynn, 2012) Five Stages of Team
Development The team development takes place in five stages. Bruce Tuckman had conducted
research on various teams and given the five stages of team development. The team process can be
observed in all the five stages of team development. The five stages of Tuckman are: 1. Forming:
The forming stage of development is a period of orientation and getting acquainted. Members break
the ice and test one another for friendship possibilities and task orientation. Uncertainty is high
during this stage, and members usually accept whatever power or authority is offered by either
formal or informal leaders. During this initial stage, members are concerned about such things as
"What is expected of me?" "What behavior is acceptable?" "Will I fit in?" During the forming stage,
the team leader should provide time for members to get acquainted with one another and encourage
them to engage in informal social discussions (Engleberg & Wynn, 2012). 2. Storming: During the
storming stage, individual personalities emerge. People become more assertive in clarifying their
roles and what is expected of them. This stage is marked by conflict and disagreement. People may
disagree over their perceptions of the team's goals or how to achieve them. Members may jockey for

risk factor during this time is smoking, drink and the use of drugs. Teratogen is the different agents

The Process of Adolescent Development Essay
Introduction
Adolescence is a transition which has no fixed time limits. However, the changes that occur at this
time are so significant that it is useful to talk about adolescence as a distinct period of human life
cycle. This period ranges from biological changes to changes in behavior and social status, thus
making it difficult to specify its limits exactly (Damon, 2008). Adolescence begins with puberty, i.e.
a series of physiological changes that lead to full development of the sexual organs and the ability to
breed and sex. The time interval that elapses begins at 11 to 12 years and extends to 18 to 20.

It is hypothesized that the overgrowth of synapses prepares young children to adapt to their
environments. Once it is determined which synapses are used and which are unnecessary, the excess
connections disappear, allowing the brain to work more efficiently. A process known as myelination
also begins early in a child's development. In this process an insulating layer of fat covers nerve
cells. The insulating layer increases the speed at which neurochemical information moves along the
axon, facilitating more rapid and efficient information processing
At the earliest ages, those nerves that involve sensory development become myelinated, followed by
those neurons responsible for motor development. The final area of the brain in which myelination
occurs is in the cortex with the neurons associated with complex thinking skills. This pattern of
brain growth continues through late adolescence (Swanson, 2010). Attention span has also been
linked to myelination. Therefore, children's ability to concentrate and attend to novel stimuli
increases with age and brain development. Because of these important development differences, the
school–based practitioner needs to be aware that younger children may need shorter sessions and
more "think time" to respond than an adolescent.
As noted, children also experience relatively rapid growth in their bodies. By the time a girl reaches

Implementation Of Incremental Development Process

  • 1. Implementation Of Incremental Development Process incremental development process makes it the opposite to the rigid requirement needs of the Waterfall method. Agile methodologies are open to change as the project starts and progresses. The contrasting requirements need of the two methodologies, is one of the main contrast points in today's project life cycle processes. There is a constant struggle between the two processes even in today's business landscape. I have worked at Google as a program manager – mobile and after Google, I worked at a satellite manufacturing company called Space Systems Loral. The former is a software company and latter is a hardware company. At Google, they have embraced agile methodologies for software development, as the company is very progressive in nature. They are also very open to feedback from their users, and therefore agile allows them to take in product suggestions and address users' needs with no predetermined rigid requirements from clients or users for initial requirements. Work is done in mini project or sprints format and when there is a need to shift directions, everything already worked on is scrapped if not necessary, and then a complete reset occurs. Since the project's initial framework is not known at the time the project starts, the final product can deviate drastically from what was initially envisioned. At Space Systems Loral, being that it is a hardware satellite manufacturing company, they inherently have to adopt the waterfall methodology for their needs. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The first phase is assessing the personal resources needed for the project; a project manager who will be spending the bulk of his or her time overseeing this project. This will involve IT determining the contract employees that will be needed for the second phase of the project as well as Operations determining who will be members of the process team. Once all of this is determined, the contractors should be brought in and work immediately begun on upgrading the programming language of Nationals to a modern language. As soon as the testing teams are established, the development queue will need to be assessed. This step will likely require three to four contractor coders and their rates. Testing teams will require 22 staff members from through the organization, with a suggested break–down of two team members from Finance, three team members from validation, one team member from billing, six team members from interior operations, six team members from exterior operations, two team members from procurement, and two team members from IT.

There were few options available that suited our needs however it wasn't an over night change in methodology. We tried few options like Feature Driven Development methodology and also for Rapid Development methodology for some user experience focused applications. However the neither of those were successfully able to resolve effective work partition and collaboration between teams physically located in different geographical locations. This led us to try some other agile methodologies like Scrum and Extreme Programming. We were successful in resolving a lot of management issues with scrum. Extreme programming ...

We also experimented with Test Driven Development in Extreme programming methodology and found it very useful. Solution Implementation Since past two years we have been using, under the umbrella of Agile, Scrum with Extreme programming for new application layer teams and Kanban for service layer as well as production support teams. The implementation started with lot of training for Scrum. Not only we hired trained scrum masters, we sponsored a lot of technical as well as business leaders to take Scrum Master or Product Owner certification. There was task force setup to form move Agile Transformation initiative with well–defined goals. It also took lot of real estate restructuring within our office space. Since all the technical teams were transformed into scrum there was not need to have office cubicles. Hence the whole floor was transformed into multi group tables where each team sat on one table. All the developers were also provided laptops to be flexible in moving across teams if there was need to stand up or tear down a team. Training was the key aspect to make Agile transformation successful. There was multiple mandatory training sessions setup for all employees.

  • 9. The Drug Development And Approval Process As mentioned in class, as well as in the Krishna (2008) article, the drug development and approval process is an extensive and costly endeavor. The goal of experimental medicine is to increase the efficiency of drug development by providing a better understanding of the drug's mechanism(s) of action, dose response, efficacy, and safety, allowing the process to be accelerated for the most promising and efficacious candidates (Krishna, Herman, & Wagner, 2008). Preclinical testing begins with identifying the ideal drug target. The target should be disease–modifying and/or have a proven function in the pathophysiology of the disease. Target expression should not be uniformly distributed throughout the body. There should also be a favorable IP condition allowing the drug freedom to operate without competition. If the druggability is not obvious, a 3D–structure for the target protein or a close homologue should be available for assessment. The target should also have favorable 'assayability' enabling high throughput screening. To identify these targets there are many strategies that can be utilized such as: genomic analysis (phenotype analysis, genetic association, gene expression profiling, etc.), pathway analysis, and activity–based proteomic profiling (Frank & Hargreaves, 2003; Lipsky & Sharp, 2001; Krishna, Herman, & Wagner, 2008).

The Current Product Development Process Secondly, the current product development process needs a timely interaction among different departments in order to detect problems in a relatively early period of the process; the traditional approach would not meet this needs (Yelkur et al., 1996). Thus, the new product development team is required to be made up of members from different background, such as engineering, marketing, and management, so that they may work closely in introducing new products. As a result, the democratic atmosphere of the work place is crucial for the process. Amabile (1998) and Amabile et al. (1999) argue that freedom in processes promotes their motivation and helps employees make the most of their expertise. In certain corporations, product development ...

Then, the ideas from brainstorming may experience the Deep Dive Approach, by which discarded ideas are archived and top solutions are selected to client meeting. After communicate with client, feedback may be given for further prototyping or contribute directly for manufacturing. Three kinds of unique features contribute to the IDEO's philosophy of "fail often to succeed sooner". Firstly, the quick prototyping enables the project team to make mistakes to find the appropriate solutions. In other words, it is similar to the method of trial and error, and follows the principles of the three "R's": Rough, Rapid and Right. This is supported by some experience of IDEO. During the early stages of the design process, IDEO generate as many ideas as possible. Team members' task is to dump ideas, and they have no responsibilities to the unsuccessful ideas in this period. They prepare to fail a lot so that the early prototypes are crude, which would not waste the precious time. In addition, instant interaction among project team members and clients ensure that the products are consumer–centered and members in the project are actively participated. The playroom atmosphere in IDEO ensures the instant communication between members to exchange latest insights and ideas, which would enhance their understanding of the ongoing project, because democratic environment boosts the effectiveness of interaction.

The Software Development Process : Execution Strategy Sotera's Software Development Process – Execution Strategy Sotera has attempted to evolve with emerging development technologies in times past, however, majority of the specialized service offerings that we provide have become progressively focused toward the intelligence market and or Cyber and Data Solutions and not so much strictly software development efforts anymore. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the traditional waterfall methodology and some elements of agile are utilized in support of client requirements; typically specific to what he client desires. On the occasions where we are requested to propose the best solution to client requirements, we often propose a modified agile methodology which blends traditional elements of software implementation methodology with agile. Sotera proposes the use of a general Enterprise Application Implementation Methodology (EAIM) for each development project that we pursue. Within our proposal our focus is detailing our EAIM, which most closely resembles the Waterfall Methodology. However, we always make it a point to thoroughly review the customer's requirements in order to determine if a more agile approach is warranted and then we typically plan our implementation efforts accordingly. Sotera's Project Management Office (PMO), is responsible for ensuring that a common body of knowledge for different software development approaches are developed and maintained such that our client–facing Program/Project Managers have all ...

Design Process And Development Lifecycle User centred (UCD) is an approach that supports the entire development process in which a product is developed for the end users needs, not a product that is going to force the end user to change he's actions to use the product. The users needs, wants and limitations are a focus at all stages within the design process and development lifecycle. Using the UCD methodology optimizes the final product for the end user. Typical UCD activities are broken down into four phases in the development lifecycle: analysis, design, implementation and launch. Four UCD principles: Focus on real end– users Validate requirements and designs Design, prototype, and develop iteratively Understand and design for the holistic user experience Benefits of ...

Also when a product goes live there shouldn't be many amendments, this will save the user/company money. Reducing user stress The product is designed for the user, so the user wants/needs the product to be easy to used. If the product was complicated to use the user would get stressed causing the quality of work or customer service to be hindered, but if the product is easier to use then it would be less stressful for the user.

New Product Development Process At Onity New Product Development Process at Onity Background Onity, one of the pioneers of electronic door lock systems formerly known as TESA Entry Systems was founded in 1941. Onity is a part of United Technologies Corp.'s (UTC, NYSE:UTX) Building & Industrial Systems division. Onity has set the standards for electronic door locking systems with installations of more than 4 million throughout the world and was second to none in the Hospitality, Corporate, Education, Government and Marine markets since 1984. With the flagship products such as Advance RFID, Advance, HT24, HT28, Front Desk Systems, etc., Onity had its electronic locking systems installed on 22,000 properties in 115 countries. However, fierce competitive products launched by the rivals like Salto and Ingersoll Rand had forced Onity to dive into the market for a narrow styling locking system. The sleek designed locks from Salto in particular were eating into the luxury hotels' market of Onity. To keep up with its number one position in the industry, Onity management decided to develop a narrow style lock. However, they failed to follow best practices in the industry, which ultimately led them to stop a very ambitious product development. Onity had the greatest industrial technological advantage in the market, yet in the chaos of a very iterative process of design and validation, Onity lost the battle.

  • 19. The Agile Software Development Process Essay Motivation Over the last several years, agile software development processes have become increasingly popular. According to Fowler (2003), the agile software engineering processes attempt to enable more flexible and adaptive software development than the traditional software engineering processes offer. Agile practitioners consider documentation as an important aspect for their projects but there is too little internal documentation available in their projects (Stettina and Heijstek, 2011). Although the documentation is mentioned, it is not anchored in the original process that relies on verbal communication (Schwaber and Beedle, 2001). Verbal communication is susceptible to lapses of memory and after some time it gets progressively harder to recall design rationale. This problem is compounded by team turnaround (Stettina and Heijstek, 2011). The main objective of documenting a project is to instruct consumers about the structure of the system, its functionality, operability and the design structure in case there is need to redesign the system. The primary consumers of the design documentation are those who maintain or upgrade the system. Other stakeholders, such as users, testers, and project managers may also need to know about the system (Selic, B., 2009). However, according to Bran Selic, (2009) software developers do not like to document, as it has no value for them. Even the agile manifesto, issued by the software industry's avant–garde, proclaims "Working software ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

He became popular in the late 1950's when he published his theory of moral development. Moral development represent an important role in our social interactions. Understanding why and how individuals make decisions regarding moral dilemmas can be very useful in many situations. Kohlberg's theory focuses on the thinking process that occurs when one decides whether a behaviour is right or wrong. He believed that social relationships and culture were central to understanding children's moral development, and he believed moral development occurred in six stages. Erik Erikson is another psychologist who proposed a psychosocial theory of human development. Unlike Kohlberg, Erikson's theory stretches the entire lifecycle and making the developmental process an ongoing lifelong process. According to Erikson's theory, people must make it through eight sequential developmental stages, during which they either develop the mandatory skills needed to become successful, happy members of society, or they will fail to successfully pass the stage and remain at that current developmental stage. Both psychologist focused on specific characteristics of human development, but their theories helped me realize the various dimensions of adolescent development which include: physical, cognitive, emotional, social, moral, and sexual development.

  • 38. A New Drug Development Process Introduction: A new drug development process starts with animal testing, before it is been tested in humans. These animal studies are designed to ensure that the drug is effective and safe in animals. Moreover, the results obtained should be reproducible. But even the reproducible results on animal studies cannot provide relevant prediction of the safe and effectiveness of a new drug. Scientists often stipulate the structural and physiological similarities between human and animals as a reason for performing animal testing and then relating or extrapolating the results for the first in human clinical testing, also known as Phase I clinical trials. Although, it is very clear that the human life expectancy is much higher compared to animals, because of the way things metabolize in human body, or to the environment a human body is exposed to or due to the minute genetic difference between human species and some other species. Also, diseases which are imposed by genetic engineering into the animals during animal studies differ significantly than the natural occurrence of a disease. Scientists are aware of these flaws that come with the use of animal model testing, like drugs that may be safe and effective in animals might not necessarily be safe and effective in humans.

This concept is not entirely new as most of us are using this from past many years in one form or another using emails and WWW. But now days the concept has revised too much. Users can access the resources directly through the internet; there is absolutely no need of having the direct physical access to the resources within the organization's premises. The concept is based on service provisioning where the services can be easily provisioned and de–provisioned as per the user's request and demand. This is very beneficial for the users as they do not have to pay for the entire service, they will pay as per its use, which reduces the total cost. This concept ahs in turn invented some new concepts like mesh computing, pay–per–use service, cloud platforms, etc. This is very important to investigate this area as it reduces a lot of development cost and the development time too. It makes the access to the services as very easy and comfortable job. A lot of research is going on this topic to further improve its efficiency and effectiveness.

In the past, a number of scholars have carried out research on creativity from a number of aspects like that of studying the 4P model. In most of there researches, a number of measures were used in differentiating those abilities that were termed as high and low (Lin, et al., 2012). Additionally, in finding the potential that people have regarding their creativity, most of the scholars have applied the psychometric approach while applying the cognitive approach in the process of developing solutions to a number of creative problems that are identified in the society. In their previous studies, scholars have found that there are a total of two creativity measures that tends to involve two different processes that are usually correlated with varied cognitive factors. Additionally, the performance of individuals based on the two developed measures have found not to be correlated in anyway (Lin, et al., 2012). As such, the hypothesis of this study will be to find out how personality traits and gender correlate differently with the divergent type of thinking and creative problem–solving abilities in accordance with the dual– process theory account creativity.

The Process Of Ordinary Cognitive Development Introduction The process of ordinary cognitive development has often been viewed as an independent, isolated progress due to inherent, individual, and identically produced growth. However, in current literature, there has been a growing consensus that socioeconomic status, and its subsequent resources, cannot be abstracted from the process or success of cognitive development. In one study, through the investigation of relationships between socioeconomic status and brain morphometry, socioeconomic disparities were clearly associated with differences in cognitive development, in other words, "income was logarithmically associated with brain surface area" (Noble, 2015). In another study, brain development was exemplified through language development, and again, it was clear that language ability/development, and therefore cognitive development could be predicted through socioeconomic status. In the study, it was found that by 3 years of age, there is a 30 million–word gap between children in poverty, and those in the upper socioeconomic bracket (Hart& Risley, 2003). In another study, investigating number sense, it was revealed that as greater vocabulary led to more number language, children with higher SES had a better sense of number concepts and greater math achievement (Jordan, 2007). However, this study focused on general vocabulary and its relationship to number concepts, and specifically called for further research that would control for number language in the ...

There are three main approaches to child development, the scientific, the social constructionist and the applied approach. Each of these approaches look at children's development from a different stand point. I will go on to explore each approach in turn and how they can help us answer the above question. The scientific approach to child development seeks to explain the facts about child development. It does this by devising theories which are then tested through observations and experiments. A classic example of this is Jean Piaget (1896–1890) who was one of the most influential theorists in child development. Piaget built up a theory about how ...

These have also been different throughout history. For example in Victorian Britain, children were expected to work in the home, field, streets or in factories. However in modern Britain we expect our children to spend much of their childhood learning at school. Another example is, Maya's (U212 Video 1, band 1) experiences of childhood in the poor area Chittagong being different to the twins Yasir and Yamin's experiences in middle class Chittagong. Each have different expectations of their roles within society according to their social boundaries, gender, family and beliefs. Central to the social constructionist approach is the concept of competing discourses of childhood. A discourse is a particular way of thinking or a particular view point that is influenced by our gender, language, history, beliefs, experiences and social boundaries. There are numerous discourses but a romantic discourse sees children as inherently good; a child would only do terrible things if damaged in some way. Contrary to this is the puritanical discourse which sees the child as inherently evil, doing evil things because they are wicked and need punishing.

Changes And Development Of The Aging Process Epigenetic changes are currently recognized as part of the aging process and have been implicated in many age–related chronic diseases such as AD (1–3). The term epigenetics includes a variety of processes known to regulate gene expression in a stable and potentially reversible way, without altering the primary DNA sequence (4). Since epigenetics allow for the integration of long–lasting non–genetic inputs in the genome, research on age–related disorders have recently focused in epigenetic mechanisms, and a growing number of epigenetic alterations in AD have been described recently (5). The best characterized epigenetic mechanisms include DNA methylation, histone posttranslational modifications, and non–coding RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs). It is becoming increasingly evident the interplay between these mechanisms to establish the epigenetic states and expression patterns of many mammalian genes (1–3). For instance, it has been described that trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me3) by the histone methyl transferase SUV39H1 is required for recruiting the DNA methyl transferase DNMT3b to pericentromeric repeats in order to allow heterochromatin structure (both H3–K9 methylation and DNA methylation are considered hallmarks of mammalian heterochromatin) (4). In turn, miRNAs can also control other epigenetic mechanisms; for example, miR–204 can target histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) (5), while miR–148 and miR–152 are reported to influence DNA methylation ...

If the investigational new drug is found to be safe, Phase II of human testing can begin. The main goal of Phase II is to find out if the investigational new drug is effective. Unlike in Phase I, the patients tested in Phase II are not healthy. In this phase, testing determines whether the drug works on patients it was designed to help. Results are obtained by comparing the group of test patients to other groups taking a different drug or taking a placebo. Phase III is the first large–scale trial of human testing. This phase can only begin if the new drug shows to be effective in the phase II. Phase III seeks to further determine the effectiveness of the drug. This is done by testing the drug on different populations, meaning that testing will be done on more people, testing will be done on different drug doses, and the drug will be tested on patients who are also taking other drugs. If Phases I through III show the investigational new drug to be safe and effective, then the pharmaceutical company will file a New Drug Application (NDA).

This means that the marketers might begin research and then start to make assumptions about what the consumer wants, so they will rush into developing the product when there are still several unknowns, or the "scope" or function of the product keeps changing. This, in turn, will lead to failure down the road because once the product is on the market there may be reasons to backtrack and fix things that were hastily decided upon. Next, a company may have dysfunctional product teams which essentially means that the company is not working together effectively to ensure the success of the new product. Oftentimes, a company will pass the product along to different sections without collaborating together which ends up creating inconsistencies and dysfunctionality within the product launch. Another reason products fail is because they have too many projects in the pipeline and lack focus. For example, if a company is working on launching several new products and dedicates time to both, they will lose focus on each idea and those products will suffer.

Uncertainty is high during this stage, and members usually accept whatever power or authority is offered by either formal or informal leaders.

The patients may need to attend appointments with Occupational Therapists, Counsellors, Eye Specialists and Physiotherapists. 1.1 Purpose of Project A stroke patient's rehabilitation requires the patient to attend different units within a hospital and it is difficult with the current system to monitor the movement and attendance of a stroke patient to their appointments. This project will monitor and record the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 69. The Development Process In Human Development The development process in Human Development begins in before conception with heredity. The next important stage in development is prenatal development. The is the stage of growth after conception and before birth. In this stage, there are many risk factors to consider that can affect the development of an embryo either during the pregnancy or after the pregnancy. A very well known risk factor during this time is smoking, drink and the use of drugs. Teratogen is the different agents such as, drug, alcohol, and tobacco that can cause different development problems at birth. I conducted a research experiment to see how women felt about these activities they partake in, and if they know the danger it producing toward the normal development of a fetus. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss how I conducted this experiment, and what my finding produced about the matter. Process: The first and hardest part of this experiment was finding women friend of mine that did not have children already and used drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. I don't have many women friends that don't have kids or are into drugs/alcohol/tobacco. After going down my phone list I could not easily find 4 female friends who meet the qualification to participate in this research assignment. For the privacy of my friends, I will name each participant after the first four letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, &D). When formulating the questions to gain the information needed upon this topic, I came up with 8 different ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 71. The Process Of Human Development The process of human development is assessed to multiple phases which carry its own distinct set of expectations in terms of emotional growth, psychological development, physical maturation, and social awareness. When breaking down the lifespan into stages such as, childhood, adulthood, and late adulthood; the breakdown seeks to bring unity to the life of human being, and ultimately help us to understand the development of a person. Some people argue that developmental process undergoes gradual changes based on gathering experiences and skills, while others are convinced that it processed by influences by certain turnaround points. Everyone have a different life– span development. One's personal emotional and physical development is cumulative. The nature of experience and development during each stage of the life– span will have an impact on how following stages are experienced for better or for worst. Early adulthood is the period of greatest energy and abundance. Even through some people have not reach early adulthood yet, they will. Early adulthood is considered to be between the ages of eighteen and twenty– five. Development occurs from adolescence to early adulthood. Adolescence is considered a time of confusion, uproar, and problems. While this occurs, most people emerge from adolescence without any problems and successfully guide the changes that attend adolescence. There are a lot of changes that take place during adolescence, but it does not mean it is an ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 75. The Process of Adolescent Development Essay Introduction Adolescence is a transition which has no fixed time limits. However, the changes that occur at this time are so significant that it is useful to talk about adolescence as a distinct period of human life cycle. This period ranges from biological changes to changes in behavior and social status, thus making it difficult to specify its limits exactly (Damon, 2008). Adolescence begins with puberty, i.e. a series of physiological changes that lead to full development of the sexual organs and the ability to breed and sex. The time interval that elapses begins at 11 to 12 years and extends to 18 to 20. However we cannot associate to a 13 with one 18 years. Let us talk about early adolescence between 11 to 14 years, which coincides ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is hypothesized that the overgrowth of synapses prepares young children to adapt to their environments. Once it is determined which synapses are used and which are unnecessary, the excess connections disappear, allowing the brain to work more efficiently. A process known as myelination also begins early in a child's development. In this process an insulating layer of fat covers nerve cells. The insulating layer increases the speed at which neurochemical information moves along the axon, facilitating more rapid and efficient information processing At the earliest ages, those nerves that involve sensory development become myelinated, followed by those neurons responsible for motor development. The final area of the brain in which myelination occurs is in the cortex with the neurons associated with complex thinking skills. This pattern of brain growth continues through late adolescence (Swanson, 2010). Attention span has also been linked to myelination. Therefore, children's ability to concentrate and attend to novel stimuli increases with age and brain development. Because of these important development differences, the school–based practitioner needs to be aware that younger children may need shorter sessions and more "think time" to respond than an adolescent. As noted, children also experience relatively rapid growth in their bodies. By the time a girl reaches 12, she will likely have entered a period of rapid physical development, including the onset ...

Testing / verification 5. Documentation 6. Maintenance An explanation of the distinction between systems analysis and systems design and a description of the activities involved in each System development can generally be thought of having two major components: systems analysis and systems design. In System Analysis more emphasis is given to understanding the details of an existing system or a proposed one and then deciding whether the proposed system is desirable or not and whether the existing system needs improvements. Thus, system analysis is the process of investigating a system, identifying problems, and using the information to recommend improvements to the system. System design is the process of planning a new business system or one to replace or complement an existing system. Analysis specifies what the system should do. Design states how to accomplish the objective. After the proposed system is analyzed and designed, the actual implementation of the system occurs. After implementation, working system is available and it requires timely maintenance. An explanation of the benefits of information systems Information systems changed forever the way accounting tasks are processed. The days of green paper pads are gone, and instead businesses have a centralized place where all accounting transactions are entered and saved. No more looking for paper ...

  • 79. The Drug Development And Approval Process As mentioned in class, as well as in the Krishna (2008) article, the drug development and approval process is an extensive and costly endeavor. The goal of experimental medicine is to increase the efficiency of drug development by providing a better understanding of the drug's mechanism(s) of action, dose response, efficacy, and safety, allowing the process to be accelerated for the most promising and efficacious candidates (Krishna, Herman, & Wagner, 2008). Preclinical testing begins with identifying the ideal drug target. The target should be disease–modifying and/or have a proven function in the pathophysiology of the disease. Target expression should not be uniformly distributed throughout the body. There should also be a favorable IP ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The main goal in Phase I is to find out if the investigational new drug is safe. In this first phase of human testing, testing determines the correct dosing and exposes the most common side effects. If the investigational new drug is found to be safe, Phase II of human testing can begin. The main goal of Phase II is to find out if the investigational new drug is effective. Unlike in Phase I, the patients tested in Phase II are not healthy. In this phase, testing determines whether the drug works on patients it was designed to help. Results are obtained by comparing the group of test patients to other groups taking a different drug or taking a placebo. Phase III is the first large–scale trial of human testing. This phase can only begin if the new drug shows to be effective in Phase II. Phase III seeks to further determine the effectiveness of the drug. This is done by testing the drug on different populations, meaning that testing will be done on more people, testing will be done with different drug doses, and the drug will be tested on patients who are also taking other drugs. If Phases I through III show the investigational new drug to be safe and effective, then the pharmaceutical company will file a New Drug Application (NDA). The NDA includes both the results of the first three trial phases and data on how the drug is manufactured (Frank & Hargreaves, 2003; Lipsky & Sharp, 2001; Krishna, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
