Using this software development matrix template, develop and submit a matrix that compares and contrasts open-source, commercial, and internally developed software development methodologies. Evaluate each alternative to help inform your final recommendation. Consider cost, software assurance needs and expectations, software assurance objectives, and the merits of a software assurance coding and development plan. This matrix will provide options to be considered for evaluation of maintenance in the next step and will also be used in your final project briefing, with a look at improving the process for the future. Commit to accurate and complete findings for a fully accountable final project briefing.
