federal tax, pension plan, and union dues” To accomplish these tasks, we
had to meet with the client to find out exactly what the program is meant
to do. Here are the sub stories that we were able to get form the client.

The client knows how far organisation software is coming and knows
what to except at one particular time or the other, the software is build
exactly the way the client wants it to be built.
Project Deliverables
We met with our client on a few occasions to show our progress so far,
In the long run, showing the client part of the finished product in stages
helped, There were a few things he brought to our understanding and we
were able to change those things, If we had waited till we finished the
coding, we would have found it really difficult to correct the errors we
found in such a short time,
The graphical user interface was acceptable to the client at this stage
even though we could improve on it with title more time, From our
project deliverables, the client was able to bring to our understanding
that the employees should have different pay rates and that it would be
safe (for recode purposes) to calculate the employee’s year-
to-date total salary earnings, These observation were later incorporated
into the final deliverable,
Software development practices adopted in Talentpro,
Extreme programming to build the software,
The whole team approach in which the client was involved
throughout the software development,
Simple designs which were as simple as the current functionality
allowed by the system, we first began with very simple design
which is incrementally improved,
Continuous integration was also used where each code was
compiled run and tested before
Adding to the system after which the system must meet all the criteria
The most important practice adopted was pair programming, the
technology team paired up with member of the payroll term and
each team met at various times to code. After each pair coded, they
made sure they tested and compiled it, then added it to the main
system which they sent to the other group members,
We also made sure that we coded according to coding standards,
the development codes were
Consistent and had the same style throughout,
Research is the process of systematic and in-depth study or search for
any particular topic, subject or area of investigation, backed by
collection, compilation, presentation of reverent details or date.
It is a careful search or inquire into any subject matter which is an end
ours to discover and find out valuable facts which would be useful for
further application or utilization research many in love a scientific study
and result in discovery or invention in which would and either scientific
development or decision marking. If may be concern with general
abstract, preconception subjects, these cannot be any, research which
does not increase knowledge or improve the scientific knowledge.

Sources of Data.
a) Primary data
Primary data consists of original information gathered for specific
purpose. This data is collected with the help of interview schedule
method by using questionnaire from target member interpretation can
also be done correctly by this method. This because the method is much
helpful in Factors such as obtaining the significant and answer to their
