Abstract

Hypermedia applications are growing significantly in size, scope, and complexity. Although the development of small scale applications can typically be managed without consideration/adoption of a formal process, the same is unlikely to be true for the development of large scale applications. Lack of appropriate development processes is likely to result in applications which have poor quality, low useability, low maintainability, are cost-ineffective, and not delivered in a timely fashion. We present the DISPER process model which has been specifically refined for use with hypermedia development projects. The model comprises three core components: a process model, a document model, and a teamresponsibility model. The DISPER model highlights the management and design elements of the development process, and provides a focus for ensuring application quality.
