In the past, a medium or large project was handled by a team of programmers with the goal of speeding up implementation. Unfortunately, was more emphasis on numbers than on talent. The structured approach design and implementation is useful in facilitating the planning process. Emphasis is on· allocating the right programmers to the task within a realistic timetable.
A completed structure chart gives the designer a realistic outline of the programming work to be done. Programmers can be assigned to the workload rather than the other way around. A team of programs assigned a subsystem that is strongly cohesive and loosely coupled to other' subsystems. Once this responsibility is assigned, roles are allocated. within each team. The designer, of course, oversees the work of the teams.
What module(s) in the chart is assigned to what size team can be very important. Modules at the bottom of a structure chart are usually utility and data base access modules. This sector represents the user interface. With today’s emphasis on what the Germans call Benutzefreundlichkeit or user friendliness, a team with specialized skills should be assigned to the interface subsystem.
