Influence on the Multinational development
Software development literature takes account of the problem domain at the macro level; for example, there are differences between development approaches for real-time and persistent data systems. This key influence illustrates how lower-level characteristics in the problem domain (eg complexity, external factors, absence of an existing system) had an important and sometimes critical influence on the development (C.1.3g, C.1.1e, C.3.2d).Implications for the Multinational development
If the developers had more carefully identified the complex aspects of the domain such as reinsurance (C.2.1e), they would have improved development by using developers with the right abilities. If they had had a broader understanding of the nature of the Multinational data (C.3.2), they would have been in a better position to design a system to handle such data and would not have been content with the rolling conversion of UK data which allowed inaccuracies to persist.Top
