3. MODEL DESIGN

The proposed model complies XP process iterative structure. The model considers the iterative nature of XP by modelling the process as a number of sequential releases. An example of releases connectivity is shown in Figure 2. Each release has eight inputs and two outputs. The output of one release is considered as an input for the following release.

In the next section, the model details explaining different inputs and outputs are provided. Then, the details of the Team Velocity Model and Project Defects Model will be provides in the following sections.
