Developing with the V-Model (my SAS Global Forum 2010 paper)

I've just submitted the beginnings of my paper for SAS Global Forum (SGF) 2010 in April in Seattle. Titled "Developing with the V-Model", the short abstract is as follows:

Software development is about building useful systems, not generating reams of documents. The V-Model helps the development team apply focus to what documents are useful and why.

The V-model offers a framework that clarifies the relationships between requirements, specifications, and testing. This paper discusses the benefits of the V-Model in a variety of differing development processes including waterfall and agile.

Now I need to finish the 1,000 word draft in order to fully submit it...
