Systems dynamics model

Abdel-Hamid’s systems dynamics model takes into account the changes in project understanding as the project progresses.

What are the pros and cons of capturing assumptions about these changes?

How can we test our assumptions, so that we have more confidence in the results of the model?

Suppose you are tracking the fault density in a series of similar products, so that you can monitor the effectiveness of the new inspection process you introduced. Over time, you find that the fault density decreases.

Explain how you might determine whether the falling fault density is the result of inspections, increased understanding of the product, or sloppy inspection and development activities
