Collaboration model of software development

Software development is a series of processes activity involving more than one person, especially in medium to large software projects. Each activity of software development is carried out by various combination of different individual. Collaboration occurs in every phase of the process software development. The right team collaboration method is one of the important things in success software development. This research is focused to develop collaboration model of software development to meet time schedule, budget, scope, and software quality. The collaboration model of software development is generated from survey of collaboration method (about face to face and virtual collaboration) and software development methodology especially agile methodology. The direct collaboration was used in the software specification processes, and combination (with a direct and virtual) collaboration was used during software design, implementation, and validation. Team coordination in every process of software development was done with face to face method. The same artifacts were used in this collaboration model with some collaboration software tools. Combination between face to face and virtual communication was used in this model. The model is implemented in small case software development project. During the software development, some measurement is carried out. The measurement included the measurement of project completion time, cost, software specification, and software quality. The software is developed in time schedule (two months), cost under budged, and meet specification. In addition, the software has built a fairly good quality. Thus, this collaboration model good use in software development to achieved accuracy of schedule, cost, scope, and quality.
