Unit 10

Software Project Management


Learning Outcomes

 Identify various project management activities such as


project planning, monitoring, and control.
 Discuss estimation of various parameters such as cost,
Efforts, and schedule/duration.
 Determine software metrics using Halstead’s software
science.
 Understand the COCOMO for software metrics.
Software Project

 Software Project is the complete task of software


development from requirements collection to software
testing and maintenance carried in a specified time.
 Every project has a target or goal with a start and end
time.
 Project needs resources such as time, finance,
knowledge, man power, and schedule.
Software Project Management (SPM)

 SPM is an important part of software engineering from the


stage of a conceptual model to the developed software
stage.
 SPM includes planning, scheduling, allocating resources,
execution and delivery of software projects.
 SPM is under the constraints of budget and schedule
planned.
SPM

 The goals of the SPM are:


 Maintain the agreed timing of the software delivery.
 Keep the project activities under the allotted budget.
 Fulfill the client’s specifications.
 Make sure that the development team is functioning
well in a happy atmosphere.
SPM

 Project management in software engineering is different than


other engineering practices.
 In software engineering the product is intangible.
 A review of the progress with team members is only possible in
software development.
 When the projects are large the project manager’s experience
may not be sufficient to anticipate the problems in the software
development.
SPM

 The software processes are dynamic, unlike electrical or civil


engineering project tasks.
 When the software to be developed is a part of a large engineering
project, it becomes impossible to determine whether there will be
any software development problems.
 SPM is managed by the project manager.
 For any project, whether it is small or big, the project manager is
employed for its completion.
Project Manager

 The duties of the Project Manager are:


 Project planning
 Reporting
 Risk management
 People management
 Proposal writing
