exercise allows students to experience some of the dynamics of
developing products in the fast-paced Internet environment and
was inspired by the browser war between Netscape and Microsoft.
Designed to be taught in a single class session, the exercise
introduces various sources of uncertainty (e.g., various press
releases, different team sizes) that make the task of designing
a development process particularly challenging. Student teams
have to make decisions on organization, features, milestones,
testing, and integration in a period of about 30 minutes and
present their results to the rest of the class. Applications;
