 ABSTRACT
This paper reports the application of large-scale software engineering methodology to small software projects. These projects were part of the curriculum of the recently launched Motorola Entry Level Training Program For Software Engineers, for college graduates. The results indicated that large scale software engineering methodology can be applied successfully to small projects. In addition, our results support most of Barry Boehm's findings in a similar study. The "deadline effect," as observed by Boehm holds especially true in our software projects and can be used to help manage software development.Contrary to Boehm's results, however, we found that programming including debugging is the dominant activity in small software product development. Possible reasons are given to explain this difference.
