You are software engineering manager and your team proposes that model-driven engineering should be used to develop a new system. What factor should you take into account when deciding whether or not to introduce this new approach to software development?

		a. The expertise of the team in using UML and MDA. (Is expertise already available or will extensive training be required.)
		b. The costs and functionality of the tools available to support MDA. (Are tools available in house or will they have to be purchased? Are they good enough for the type of software being developed?
		c. The likely lifetime of the software that you are developing. (MDA is most suitable for long-lifetime systems)
		d. Requirements for high performance or throughput (MDA relies on code generation that creates code which may be less efficient than hand written code)
		e. The long term benefits of using MDA (are there real cost savings from this approach?)
