There is nothing in this world constant but inconstancy.--SWIFT
Project after project designs a set of algorithms and then plunges into construction of customer-deliverable software on a schedule that demands delivery of the first thing built.
In most projects,the first system built is (71) usable,It may be too slow,too big,awkward to use,or all three.There is no (72) but to start again,smarting but smarter,and build a redesigned version in which these problems are solved.The discard and (73) may be done in one lump,or it may be done piece-by-piece.But all large-system experience shows that it will be done.Where a new system concept or new technology is used,one has to build a system to throw away,for even the best planning is not so omniscient(全知的)as to get it right the first time.
The management question,therefore ,is not whether to build a pilot system and throw it away.You will do that.The only question is whether to plan in advance to build a (74),or to promise to deliver the throwaway to customers.Seen this way,the answer is much clearer.Delivering that throwaway to customers buys time,but it does so only at the (75) of agony(极大痛苦)for the user,distraction for the builders while they do the redesign,and a bad reputation for the product that best redesign will find hard to live down.
Hence plan to throw one away;you will,anyhow.

●Ravi, like many project (71) ,had studied the waterfall model of software development as the primary software life-cycle (72) .He was all set to use it for an upcoming project, his first assignment. However, Ravi found that the waterfall model could not be used because the customer wanted the software delivered in stages, something that implied that the system had to be delivered and built in (73) and not as (74) .
The situation in many other projects is not very different. The real world rarely presents a problem in which a standard process, or the process used in a previous project, is the best choice.To be the most suitable, an existing process must be (75) to the new problem.A
development process, even after tailoring, generally cannot handle change requests. To accommodate change requests without losing control of the project, you must supplement the development process with a requirement change management process.
