Software Project Planning
A software project is a complete methodology of programming progression from requirements gathering to testing and support, completing the execution steps within a specified period of time to achieve the desired software product.
The Need for Software Project Management
Software development is an entirely new trend in the world of business, involving few structural programming elements. Most of the programming elements are customized to customer needs. Most importantly, the underlying technology changes and evolves so often and rapidly that the experience of one element may not be connected to the other. All of these business and environmental imperatives pose risks to software development. Therefore, managing software projects efficiently is fundamental.
Software Project Manager
Software Manager is responsible for planning and scheduling project development. They direct the work to ensure completion to the requested standards. They monitor progress to ensure the event is on time and within budget. A project plan should cover important issues such as planning sizing and cost estimates, project monitoring, personnel selection evaluation, and risk management.
To plan a successful software project, you need to understand:
- Scope of work to be performed
- Risk analysis
- Required resources
- Projects to be performed
- Compliance records
