This work presents a branch & bound method that allows software managers to determine the optimum order for the development of a network of dependent software parts that have value to customers. In many different circumstances the method allows for the development of complex and otherwise expensive software from a relatively small investment, favoring the use of software development as a means of obtaining competitive advantage.
Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem branch and bound que permite aos gerentes de projeto determinar a melhor ordem de desenvolvimento de uma rede de módulos interdependentes de software que possui valor para os clientes. Em diversos casos, o método permite o desenvolvimento de software complexose caros a partir de investimentos relativamente pequenos, favorecendo o desenvolvimento de software como meio para a obtenção de vantagem competitiva.
