6. Collaborative Development
From Business focused on online development
and software development are using different
teams in developing different kinds of software
and applications. Splitting the work into different
individuals in a team introduces different
advantages in software and online development.
By using this, an individual will work on a specific
part of the development and can focus on one
task . Furthermore, highly qualified individuals for
a certain task can be hired and will not need to
worry on other aspects of development.

7. Another advantage is that this system introduces
parallelism, or developing all of the aspects of the Web site
at the same time, which will be integrated later. However,
doing this system also has certain disadvantage. Because
individuals are doing tasks independently with other
individuals, the output of an individual tends to overlap with
the output of other individuals. Another disadvantage is that
the direction of development tends to go different ways
because of the nature of independence of the team
members and workers. The output of each individual may
fail to integrate in the end.

8. This problem is solved by including another member
focused on management alone. Presented here are the roles
that a Web development team essentially requires.
