You are a software project manager at Quaich Networks, a wireless mobile phone and data service provider. The company's legacy billing system uses old technology and is a significant source of inflexibility that limits how quickly and well Quaich can match competitors' new pricing and marketing campaigns. You have been tasked with assembling and directing a software development team to provide a new billing system that will be highly reconfigurable and flexible.
