The challenge of developing software today has gone beyond the design and implementation of algorithms. No longer do software engineers work in a vacuum on isolated, self-contained programs. The size, complexity, and rapid pace of software projects today require team efforts. The larger the project, the greater the need for communication and coordination among software project team members. In software organizations all over the world, one can hear such questions as:
