Abstract: This article documents a process for software development designed and successfully used by the Academic Computing Department of the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) in Dallas, Texas. The Academic Computing Department at SIL is creating an object-oriented software development environment called CELLAR, which facilitates construction of applications that deal with large collections of structured multilingual information. Every project is carried out by a project team under the watchful eye and helpful hands of a guidance team. Each project team is initially formed by, and then remains responsible to, a guidance team. The entire process is based on the observation that small projects are easier to manage than big projects. Planning proceeds top-down until the work has been divided into many small pieces into modules. Each team member uses the module-level process definition to manage the progress of his or her current module, while the manager guides the progress of the whole series of modules towards the final goal.
