Description
You are the software development manager for a software company that
produces software for filling out tax forms for businesses.
The rules for taxation of certain types of small businesses have recently been
changed by the government, and you’re not certain your company’s new
program has been correctly modified to follow to follow the new rules. But it is
now the time when small businesses are starting to fill and file their tax forms,
and if the program is not released now, in the next 2 or 3 days, the company will
lose much of its sales for this quarter, with further damage down the line, if they
go to your competitors.
The number of businesses affected by the new rules is small. You are deciding
whether or not to release the program.
Explain your course of action, as the team manager. What steps you take,
decisions you make with a brief rationale. (Note: a rationale is an explanation
of the reasons of your choices).
