Gustafson & Branch Critique
2/1/16
Another criticism I have is that some models were categorized into an orientation
based on Gustafson and Branchs interpretation of the model. In some cases the
categorization was obvious, or even stated, but in others I feel like they made the
easiest choice of placing it with the systems oriented models just to get a model
into a category (e.g. Dick, Carey and Carey). Even though it is taught as a systems
oriented model I wish they had expanded on the reason they thought it could be a
product oriented model. I would like to see, from the experts, how I can take one
model and bend it to make it work for a separate deliverable.
Overall I found the taxonomy to be very helpful in understanding the different
models and outputs that each is best suited to produce. This will be a tool I refer
back to for years to come.
