The prototyping development process is used in a variety of project environments.

a. List the advantages prototyping may bring to projects, with the prototype serving

as a “throw away” project.

b. List the advantages of a prototyping project for an active organization when a fullscale software project is expected to be completed in only 12 months.

c. An agricultural experimental site is expected to follow a new experiment to investigate the effects of irrigation, fertilizers, and shading variations on the crops of

several kinds of vegetables. Most measurements should be automatic. The

research team comprises eight researchers. The research is planned to start within

2 months and to last for 3 years. Explain why the prototyping development process

would be the most suitable?
